WORK WITH JAREN
Professional Safari Photography Services
From documenting once-in-a-lifetime journeys and conservation work in the field to one-to-one wildlife photography mentorship, I offer a range of professional photography and filmmaking services built around Africa, wildlife and the stories that connect us to the natural world.

YOUR JOURNEY, DOCUMENTED
Safari Photography & Filmmaking
Some journeys deserve more than photographs taken along the way. I can join your private safari as your dedicated photographer and filmmaker, documenting not only the wildlife you encounter, but the people, places and experiences that make the journey entirely your own.
From weddings and elopements in the wild to honeymoons, family adventures and once-in-a-lifetime safaris, my role is to capture the story unfolding around you while allowing you to remain completely present in it.
Wildlife encounters, quiet moments in camp, extraordinary landscapes, beautiful lodges and the people you share them with all become part of the story. The result is a professionally created collection of photographs, film, or both, that preserves the experience as a whole.
WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS
Intimate celebrations surrounded by some of Africa's most extraordinary landscapes.
HONEYMOONS & ANNIVERSARIES
The moments between the wildlife encounters can become just as important as the encounters themselves.
FAMILY SAFARIS
A natural record of the people, experiences and wildlife that make a family journey through Africa unforgettable.
ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME JOURNEYS
For travellers who simply want to experience their safari without worrying about documenting it themselves.

STORIES WITH PURPOSE
Conservation Photography & Filmmaking
Conservation work is often happening far from public view. Photography and film can bring those stories to life, helping people understand the wildlife, landscapes, communities and individuals behind the work.
I work in the field to document conservation projects naturally and honestly, from wildlife monitoring and research to habitat protection, ranger operations and community-led initiatives. My approach combines an understanding of wildlife behaviour with experience working in remote environments, allowing the story to unfold without unnecessarily interfering with the work taking place.
The resulting photography and film can be created for websites, campaigns, reports, fundraising, social media, editorial use or simply to build a strong visual record of a project and its impact.
WILDLIFE & RESEARCH
Species monitoring, research activity, conservation interventions and the wildlife at the centre of the project.
PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES
The researchers, rangers, conservationists and communities whose work often remains behind the scenes.
HABITAT & PLACE
Landscapes, ecosystems and environmental details that provide context to the wider conservation story.
THE COMPLETE STORY
Combining people, wildlife, place and process to create a cohesive visual record rather than isolated images.

DEVELOP YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY
Online Wildlife Photography Mentorship
My online one-to-one mentorships are designed for wildlife photographers who want personalised support developing their photography, wherever they are in the world.
Developing as a wildlife photographer takes more than understanding camera settings. It comes from learning to recognise light, anticipate behaviour, make stronger creative decisions and understand why some photographs work while others fall short.
Rather than following a fixed course, each mentorship is shaped around you and your photography. We can work through your own images, develop your editing, strengthen composition, prepare for an upcoming safari or focus on building a more distinctive photographic style.
Sessions take place online and one-to-one, giving us the freedom to concentrate entirely on your experience, questions and photographic goals.
IMAGE & PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
Understand what is working, what could be stronger and how to become more intentional when selecting and creating photographs.
SAFARI PREPARATION
Prepare for an upcoming photographic safari with advice around equipment, camera setup, techniques and the wildlife situations you are likely to encounter.
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT
Explore composition, light, perspective and visual storytelling while developing a photographic style that feels increasingly your own.
LIGHTROOM & POST-PROCESSING
Work through your own RAW files and develop editing techniques that enhance an image while keeping wildlife photography natural and believable.

Have Something Else in Mind?
Not every project fits neatly into a category. If you have an idea involving wildlife photography, filmmaking, safari or conservation that isn't covered above, I'd still love to hear about it. Tell me what you're working on, where it will take place and what you hope to create, and we can explore whether I'm the right fit for the project.
