The Kalahari is brilliant - and easy to visit.
From Nigel Dennis
Currently I am working on another three books, doing a lot of magazine work, am shooting for fifteen stock agencies, plus my own photo library - all this keeps me quite busy!
Even for an area I know well, I prepare a shooting list of subjects I need.
A large wildlife book, start to finish, could take one to two years, but then I would expect to get several good (nature) magazine features off the back of this, plus of course a lot of stock.
Big game photography in Africa is mainly done from a vehicle, so then I feel I might as well take the lot.
For the first few years we lived in a tiny rented cottage at the bottom of a friend's garden. We often joked that there was plenty of film in the fridge, but not too much food!
I think few wives would have encouraged this kind of drastic and reckless career shift!
For sure, all over Poland, kids had my picture of a lemur on their bedroom wall - but the chances are they may never get to see a real lemur in Madagascar. I thought this was great and it really meant a lot to me.
I also like flyfishing - maybe I would have figured a way to make a living out of that?
