Nikon Creator
I feel so honoured to be part of the #NikonFamily and since joining their team 3 years ago, I've had the pleasure to work on some amazing projects with their support.

Global ambassador for
Save The Rhino International
I feel very privileged to have worked closely with black rhinos in East Africa - throughout my masters and beyond - alongside some of the most determined, passionate and amazing conservationists and rangers. I can honestly say there are so many people out there who care, working tirelessly to protect this magnificent animal.
It's my mission to continue raising awareness for rhinos, and inspire others to fight for their future.

Where Did All The Rhinos Go?
This October, my debut children's book:Where Did All The Rhinos Go? was published!
Ami Vitale: "This beautiful book explores and explains some of the negative impacts that we're having on the natural world, from poaching to deforestation, and addresses them in a compassionate way. Through the eyes of an orphaned black rhino, we learn how deeply interconnected our world is. It is a powerful reminder to reimagine our relationship to nature and to each other."
