Roaming Africa’s Wilds

Africa unexpectedly awakens one’s soul. This work celebrates the wild and exotic diversity of Africa.

Chasing the Extraordinary

Overwhelmed by the reckless beauty, the early years were captured in vivid color. As the world changed rapidly with technology, Piper developed a sophisticated monochromatic style retracing her footsteps to create images with a powerful glimpse into the raw, wild, and remote lands she first explored.

The Expeditions

“From the moment my feet hit the rich red soil I was changed. The sights, the smells, the sounds, the raw and wild spaces, it was magic that one cannot explain only in words or images; itis a place one must feel to completely understand.

Deep in the experience, surrounded by exotic wildlife or exotic tribes, is when I feel most alive. In Africa, I am where I belong.”

On her solo remote expeditions, Piper spends countless hours in the tribal communities developing deep lifelong friendships. Roaming the wilds in her own Landrover, endless days are spent in the bush passionately intrigued by the behavior of the wildlife and ecosystems.

For the past decade, I have witnessed Piper Mackay’s masterful skill to capture remarkable images across the African Continent. Whether it be members of the Omo Tribes in Ethiopia, or cheetahs in the Maasai Mara, Piper Mackay possesses the unique ability to create images of wildlife and members of the human family in such a manner that we are magically transported to those scenes and seeing life to the fullest with our own eyes.
