Black Death | African Buffalo Herd | Acrylic Glass Print
Captured during an unforgettable November safari in Kenya.
This striking black-and-white print, “Black Death,” offers a rare, head-on view of an immense herd of African buffalo, their powerful forms and stoic expressions intensified by dramatic storm clouds above. The scene is breathtakingly raw—a few hundred buffalo stretching across the landscape, with a massive bull at the heart of the frame. His colossal horns, curving outward like an infinity symbol, command attention and give a sense of timeless power and resilience.
Photographing buffalo is a challenging endeavour. These formidable animals are dangerous and notoriously unpredictable in movement, making it incredibly rare to capture them directly approaching. This unique moment came together as the herd advanced in unison, creating an awe-inspiring scene for myself and my clients, with only a fleeting chance to get it right. The stormy November skies add depth and contrast, casting an intense mood over the image.
Printed with rich, dark contrasts, “Black Death” is a testament to these animals' resilience and a dramatic piece for those who appreciate the raw beauty of African wildlife. This fine art print is crafted to evoke the energy, tension, and scale of this unforgettable encounter, bringing the viewer face-to-face with the sheer power of Africa’s wilderness.
