White Lines by David Yarrow

Amboseli, Kenya – 2020

This photograph – taken a few days ago in Lewa Downs in Kenya – was preconceived, but the execution as many will know is damn tough.

Grevy’s zebra – by far the most aesthetically spoilt of the species – are skitiish and do not tend to allow a vehicle too close.

After a while, they get fed up and the best chance is always in the first few minutes. A telephoto lens can mitigate the problem, but only so far. The key thing is to have an excellent driver who knows exactly what your intent is and can manage a jeep in the most bumpy of terrains.

My driver, guide and friend – Andy Campbell – tried with me for 2 days a month ago and all I got was a sore arse. But we came back, with new ideas and in particular a new lens, a few days ago and we finally got what we were looking for.

Its a bit like fishing I guess, you simply have to put in the time and know your detail.
