For the last two years I have worked closely with professional photographer Marc Richardson, hosting photographic journeys throughout Africa, Sri Lanka, Portugal, the USA and Ireland. Clients enjoy the intimacy of travelling with their own photographic guide and travel specialist, and particularly cherish the engagement with local people and tribesmen and hearing their stories.
Capturing raw wildlife and stark yet beautiful landscapes, we had the opportunity to photograph diminishing tribes and traditions, gaining an insight into their worlds. The hunter-gatherer Hadzabe spring to mind, whose traditional hunting grounds and customs are being whittled away. The group we travelled with comprised of grandparents and parents, but yet only one child. I couldn’t help wondering how many Hadzabe children would be able to continue this way of life into the next generation.
We stumbled upon a mating dance ritual at a Datoga village, where the young girls were checking out the prowess of potential husbands. We learnt of island secrets that villagers reluctantly revealed to strangers, still carrying the guilt of generations gone by, but yearning for it to be assuaged. We celebrated Mardi Gras with kinsfolk.

Marc Richardson – Professional Photographer
Marc has had the privilege, the access and the passion to capture moments in time that may never exist again. Born into a celebrated New Orleans family of musicians, Marc launched his journey into the world of photography two decades ago with special access to both emerging artists and legends of the industry. In Africa, Marc takes advantage of the abundance of extraordinary landscape and traditional cultural photographic opportunities.
Whether an iconic musician, stunning landscape, breath-taking wildlife or meaningful portraits, Marc’s goal is to capture that moment that transports you to the exact moment in time. His quest is for that image that captures the very essence of what it was like to be there at that time, allowing someone else to experience that same incredible moment.
