Wild Romance, cover shot

This image was shot in Kenya, and I chose it for the cover of my newbook Wild Romance, a large format coffee table-style photo bookfeaturing Africa's most romantic safari lodges. The book contains 300pages with 1,700 full color photographs of 48 lodges in six Africancountries: Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and SouthAfrica. For each lodge I photographed the rooms inside and outside,the food, activities, wildlife and landscapes. My wife wrote the textsand shot and edited all 48 video clips on the enclosed DVD.

This image was shot at sunrise from the deck of our room. I used a 2stop NDG to tame the highlights and to darken the sky. There's quite alot of sky in this shot because I wanted to have enough room for type.

If you're looking for a great book featuring the best safariaccommodation in Africa, or simply want to surprise your partner witha book full of romantic getaways, look no further. ;-)

Hello Marsel, this is exquisite!

What a beautiful place to have breakfast in this superb setting.

You captured it perfectly.

The texture of the african wood flore, the lamps, the sky.

This makes me want to buy that book :)

All the best!

It's truly magical!

I wish I were there.

This is truly a romantic setting! How fortunate for both you and your wife to travel and write these books together! Where can I purchase this book? I plan to one day visit Africa and would love to see these romantic places, the coast and the wildlife. Thank you for sharing. :)
