Pete Oxford

Pete Oxford is an award-winning conservation photographer specialising in conservation issues, wildlife and indigenous cultures around the world. With his wife, Reneé, they also organise bespoke travel, for small groups, to some of the world’s top wildlife and cultural destinations. They have worked many times on every continent. This book is a collection of short stories from their exhaustive travels, some with clients and some alone. At times, you will laugh out loud at the hilarity of the tales, then be blind-sided by a short, thought-provoking sentence. Pete reveals his most embarrassing moments, his fears, his triumphs, his insights and his uninhibited passion for the wild. He is a very knowledgeable naturalist and has spent his life in the company of wildlife. He is often asked, what does it take to be an international photographer capturing unique images of endangered wildlife. This book has many of the answers, however, it is not in the least a ‘how to’ book but rather the adventures that life has taken him on whilst in pursuit of experiencing the breadth of this vulnerable planet, since before he even used a camera.
