Chris says the photo, of a shark breaching the surface of the ocean, forms part of his 12-part photography series called ‘The Eleventh Hour’.

 

Fallows says wildlife photography plays a huge role in the conservation of wildlife species.

 

He says his work was well-received at the fair.

 

Fallows says he hopes his photography makes more people get involved in the conservation of Africa’s iconic animals.
