The giraffe often reminds me of Roald Dahl’s legendary Big Friendly Giant character — they are somewhat otherworldly, yet delightfully friendly. ⠀

They are arguably one of Africa’s most loved species and thus I had to think of a unique way to photograph them. I wanted to capture their personality and there is no better way to do that than by capturing an eye-level portrait — not an easy feat when the giraffes eyes are between 4.6 and 6.1 m off the ground. ⠀

The only logical way to capture the image was from an elevated platform, and earlier in May we finally nailed it. What a beautiful giant.⠀
