I concentrate on the southern African subcontinent.

Even for an area I know well, I prepare a shooting list of subjects I need.

I also like flyfishing - maybe I would have figured a way to make a living out of that?

For sure, all over Poland, kids had my picture of a lemur on their bedroom wall - but the chances are they may never get to see a real lemur in Madagascar. I thought this was great and it really meant a lot to me.

Courage is clearly a readiness to risk self-humiliation.

Currently I am working on another three books, doing a lot of magazine work, am shooting for fifteen stock agencies, plus my own photo library - all this keeps me quite busy!

For the first few years we lived in a tiny rented cottage at the bottom of a friend's garden. We often joked that there was plenty of film in the fridge, but not too much food!
