We are currently in Africa and in addition to photographing the adventures of some of our very special clients (stay tuned) we are creating a new series for our passion project @renderloyalty.⠀ My journey with Render Loyalty is rooted in a lifelong passion for conservation but was sparked by an article covering Sudan, the last male Northern White Rhino in the world. Sadly, I never had the opportunity to photograph Sudan as he passed away a couple of months ago. But I never gave up and yesterday, together with @chadkeffer, I photographed his daughter and granddaughter, Najin and Fatu, the last two remaining Northern White Rhinos in the world. I cannot describe what it is like to literally look extinction in the eye.⠀ From sun up to sun down we spent the day with them in the bush here at @olpejeta, with their guard and caretaker (@jumu_mwenda), learning, watching and shooting. I cannot wait to bring back these images and share their story. Find more behind the scenes on my insta stories :) ⠀ -⠀ #renderloyalty #olpejeta #conservation #northernwhiterhino #extinction #rhino
