My name is Caleb Shepard;
I am a child of Africa – I was born with the sun on my back and the open plains before my eyes, plains that teemed with wildlife. I have carried those early childhood memories in my heart; they have sustained me and inspired me. I matriculated in 2015 from Westville Boys' High in Durban, South Africa. Photography is one of my passions that I have followed for many years

I enjoy all types of subject matter - each one tells a unique and different story. I do have a particular passion for wildlife, landscape photography and videography. They say that ‘a picture tells a thousand stories’ and offers a unique perspective to the viewer. I hope that my pictures allow you the viewer to experience the moment that I captured. In the noise and chaos of life the escape to the African plains has restored my equilibrium and renewed my soul. We talk of “rights” when we should talk of “responsibilities” and the greatest should surely be to live this life by adding, and not by depleting. Each of us has the capacity to give back, to make a difference and to arrest the crisis.
