When I think of stunning wildlife photography, Kenya-based Federico Veronesi always is amongst the top of my list. His imagery is insanely beautiful. Living in Kenya, he has an intimate knowledge of individual animals that he has watched for years and that comes across in his work in a profound way.
Included stories
- His bold and inspiring journey that brought him from Italy to Kenya to become a wildlife photographer
- His years spent tracking caracals, mysterious African cats that receive much less mainstream – – attention than leopards and lions due to their elusive nature
- Being surrounded by baby elephants
- The complexity and importance of conservation issues affecting African wildlife
