Peter Beard

Rhino Roping with Ken Randall in Darajani, Tsavo, Kenya

A dynamic gelatin silver print enhanced with paint and ink, this work captures the raw, chaotic energy of rhino roping in the vast landscapes of Tsavo, Kenya. Beard's signature combination of photography and hand-applied media blurs the line between documentation and artistic expression, reflecting his deeply personal engagement with African wildlife. The work stands as both a visceral record of conservation efforts and a testament to Beard's immersive, diary-like approach to storytelling.
