James Lewin UK, b. 1996
"I believe we have a deep connection to the world around us. And I believe that we’re not so different to the wild animals that we share it with." - James Lewin
James Lewin is an internationally acclaimed photographic artist based in Kenya. He has built a reputation for creating timeless masterpieces that bring a unique perspective into the lives of some of the world's most iconic inhabitants.
After abandoning a real estate career to pursue his passion for wildlife and conservation, Lewin has since received over 25 international awards for his evocative work. Lewin has spent nearly a decade exploring remote areas of Africa, following his subjects for weeks, waiting patiently for extraordinary compositions that will likely never reoccur. All his photographs are of wild animals in their natural habitats, with multiple artworks captured within a few feet of his subjects using customised vehicles or on foot. The captivating intimacy, emotion and drama allow the viewer to experience his subjects' magnificence and unique characters. His artistic approach aims to engage people and inspire new appreciation and respect towards the natural world.
From every sale, Lewin proudly donates to conservation, and he frequently donates artworks to charity auctions, with 100% of the proceeds donated to the cause.
