The Big Tuskers of Amboseli

A few years ago I started out with a simple idea… “Let’s set a really high and ever-rising bar for timeless wildlife photography as fine art images”. A concept was born and put into reality with images which sell all over the world. From London to Melbourne, from Istanbul to San Diego and from New York to Madrid. It seemed a little crazy at the time and - to be honest - a bit scary to put your emotion and visual stories into the world as a creator.

But for the last couple of months I’ve been working on something that is just, if not more, as exciting. That next conceptual leap which is just… probably even more crazier. Not only because of these travel restricted times, but also because it means opening up creative resources I didn’t have a few years ago. And now, together with some amazing local individuals I met over the last few years, we created what I feel are some of the best photographic experiences.

I believe that the best photographers always stand in front of the most amazing things. And this is why Jochen van Dijk Photography begins to offer photographic safaris in the most beautiful African places out there. Always in equivalent collaboration with fantastic ground support. Because without astonishing people on the ground with experience in both hospitality and excessive guiding knowledge in these places there is no game.

Each tour offers a small client-leader ratio that allows for personalized, customized and hands-on photographic coaching from which you will instantly learn how to step up your photography skills. And after the sundowners there will be training on how to post process your images from that very same day. All at the very best lodges at competing rates.

And even though we are restricted in the way we travel, the times when these restrictions are lifted are drawn to a close. We feel like now is the time to put this out there. So when we can experience these visual wonders, we’re ready. I know we are with ”The Big Tuskers of Amboseli”. This is our first photographic adventure on this new journey and more will follow very soon.
