‘Thirsty Work’ was runner-up in The Guardian Photographer of the Month, December 2017.

Thirsty Work

A giraffe stoops to drink at the Umgodi waterhole while two others stand sentry, maybe! The perspective is exaggerated by the proximity of the drinking giraffe and use of a wide angle lens. It sent the adrenalin racing to be this close to these amazing creatures without their being aware. Zimanga Private Reserve, South Africa.
