have also contributed material over the years.

reducing costs for the client. Camerapix’s stable of quality photographers is also available to

respond to specific client requests.

• Countries. This is perhaps the largest category, and covers not just the vast continent of

Africa, but much of the Middle East and Central Asia.

• Historical events. (people, politics). Here you will find pictures covering the most significant

events over the past 30 years, including Ethiopia’s famine, and striking images of some

of the most colourful characters on the world stage: Idi Amin, Mobutu, Kenyatta, Kaunda,

Mandela, the British Royal Family.

• Tribal Africa. Images of a passing way of life, including the Maasai, are preserved on film.

• Wildlife and underwater. The sheer range and quality of the images of animals, birds, and

fishes is stunning.

• Landscapes. These pictures, painted on a broad canvas, include many aerial photographs.

quality and professionalism that have distinguished it over the years.
