Host Toby Jermyn is joined by Steve & Ann Toon, former senior magazine journalists who now spend much of the year in Africa creating images, leading photo workshops and safaris, and occasionally returning to conservation-focused storytelling.
They discuss their different creative approaches, working as a true team under a joint byline, and how embracing conditions, patience, and enjoyment on safari can lead to stronger photographs.
Across five featured images, they share stories from rare nocturnal encounters, challenging weather in the Kalahari, and an intimate night hide in Kenya, before choosing an admired photograph by Bence Máté that showcases small-scale natural history with striking artistry.
