JAMES LEWIN
Whether in pursuit of his next signature image, leading some of the continent’s most exclusive safaris, or exploring remote corners by motorbike, James has found his element in Africa.
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2026
Winning the Animals in Their Environment category at Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2026 is an extraordinary honour and a dream come true.
Behind the photograph is a much more personal story, rooted in my first experiences in Africa over a decade ago and a place that continues to shape both my life and my photography.
I've written about the journey to this moment, the story behind the image, and what being awarded in the world's most prestigious wildlife photography competitions means to me in my latest journal entry.
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
Drawing on the principles of classical portraiture, Lewin reveals the character of his iconic subjects with a level of intimacy rarely seen in the genre.
SAFARIS
We keep details of where we go, when we travel, and what we do deliberately private, as true luxury lies in the feeling of having the wilderness to yourself. Every safari is both authentic and thoughtfully tailored around you, offering a connection to Africa that few ever experience.
