I See Through the Wild

Idris Kamau grew up in Narok, a few hours from the Mara, and paid for his first camera with a season of driving guests between lodges. They wanted lions. He kept watching the grass.

Fourteen years later the method has barely changed. Arrive before light, choose one place, and stay in it. A canvas hide, a flask of tea, a lens that stays capped until there is a reason.

Nothing in this archive was baited, called or chased. When an animal leaves, the frame leaves with it. OmniStacks Digital publishes the work as he files it, adjusted for exposure only and captioned from his field notebook.
