For a couple of weeks now, we’ve been featuring Adorama’s new web series, My Travel Diary: Kenya.
So far, we’ve been introduced to the purpose of the show, the “maker moms” who are learning skills to support their families, the kids of Maai Mahiu, and met members of the Maasai tribe.
Each episode offers a glimpse at what life is really like in Kenya, and what photographers can do to create images that tell that story accurately and compassionately.
In the final installment of the series, shown above, the focus shifts from the people of Kenya to the incredible wildlife found there.

As Erin Sullivan shares in the video, wildlife photography is all about showing the personality of the animals, their interactions with one another, and their relationship with their environment.

One tip that Erin shares is to approach wildlife photography with more of a film mentality. That is, don’t fire off dozens of photos simply because you can. Instead, focus your attention on being patient and waiting for the very best shots to take.
Check out the full video above to see the beauty and magic of Kenya and its wildlife through Erin’s lens.
