UIG contributor Matthew Williams-Ellis has announced his solo wildlife exhibition, running from June 22 through July 2 in London. The “Individuals” exhibition features stories of the animals the photographer spent time with during his travels during 2022 around the Mara North Conservancy in Kenya. Williams-Ellis portrays each of the characters as emotional beings with their own unique histories and uncertain futures.

With his intimate portraits and photographic style, the photographer seeks to inspire a desire to care and protect the beautiful wildlife that calls the Maasai Mara Ecosystem home. A portion of the proceeds from the “Individuals” exhibition will benefit the Mara Predator Conservation Programme and Conservancy Guardians to support the work being done on behalf of the Mara wildlife.
