With only one day available to capture images on safari the pressure was on to find a leopard and get the dream shot for Nikon. Not an easy task but with some persistence and tenacity a serendipitous sighting in an iconic tree where a leopard had never been found before ended up yielding a shot of a lifetime. The sighting lasted about 2 hours and there was time pressure to leave but my experience told me this would probably be the only opportunity that day to get the shot. The risk paid off when this magnificent and stunningly beautiful large female turned her mesmerising gaze towards us just once. In that instance I knew I had captured the shot of my dreams and one that gives a strong sense of place to an apex predator relaxing in her jungle kingdom. A different photo of this scene became one of the key visuals chosen for the campaign.

City to Wilderness | Sri Lanka is a series that comes from Joseph’s second bespoke designed limited edition photobook. He was sent there on a 5 day long assignment by Nikon covering 1500 km across the island by road and rail with a brief to come back with images of wildlife and travel captured using only one lens, the new Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E. He also had time to use other lenses occasionally and set out to photograph everything from scenes in bustling market places to diverse landscapes and wildlife - both on land and in the ocean. His vision was to create photographs with a strong sense of place, hoping that the series of images would convey the diversity of Sri Lanka as he saw it in the time he was there. The journey was also turned into a film for Nikon as part of their 100 year anniversary campaign. A journey which took him from city to wilderness.
There are 90 Limited edition books available out of 100 containing 39 photographs from the assignment. 10 books have been pre sold. Six (6) photos have been selected as NFTs in editions of 15 each to go with the books. One NFT per book. There are also a limited number of book sized prints of “Stilt fishermen at sunset” that can be included on a first come first serve basis. All books will be signed and numbered according to the remaining numbers available. Personal messages can be included on request. Worldwide shipping available including to P.O. Box addresses.
