Description

Photography is usually about freezing a moment in time, but this image is so much more than that for me. It encapsulates an entire day I will never forget and a lesson: never give up and always remain patient yet determined. In my experience with leopards, I have found that time spent with them almost always begins and ends in seconds, often too quickly for a photograph. We found this handsome male leopard fast asleep on the edge of this rock at 7:12 a.m. I could never have imagined that I would be sitting in virtually the same position until 7:21 p.m.! 12 hours with a leopard was a first for me and my guide, who has been guiding in the Serengeti for nearly two decades.
Over my years in the wild, I have realized that things don't often go as planned and that the shot of your dreams could be waiting for you around the next corner. I was en route to drop
a friend for a flight when we stumbled upon this leopard. Thankfully, my friend agreed this was far too good of an opportunity and decided that missing his flight was a wise idea. We spent the entire day with almost no food and drank very little water to avoid bathroom breaks, which could have lost the photograph. Would I do it again? 1000 times over!

Presentation

ames Lewin is an internationally acclaimed photographic artist based in Kenya, renowned for creating timeless masterpieces that offer a rare perspective into the lives of some of the world's most iconic inhabitants.

Entirely self-taught, Lewin first picked up a camera while working alongside anti-poaching and research units on the front line of conservation in Kenya. Soon after, he abandoned a career in real estate in London to pursue his passion for wildlife with his camera in hand. His work has since received more than 25 international awards, including winning the Animals in their Environment category at the Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year, widely regarded as the most prestigious award in the genre. In 2026, he was also named a finalist in the Hasselblad Masters and won Series of the Year at the Monovisions Photography Awards for The Land That Made Us One.

Working exclusively in the wild, Lewin devotes weeks at a time to achieving extraordinary proximity to wildlife, creating portraits that carry the depth and emotional presence associated with human portraiture. Avoiding traditional telephoto techniques, he works from specially modified vehicles or on foot under ranger supervision, capturing a rare intimacy and connection with his subjects seldom seen in the genre.
