Fred von Winckelmann

The work of wildlife photographer Fred von Winckelmann proves the tried and true adage that “a picture is worth a 1000 words”. There is a timeless and ethereal quality to Fred’s work that is breathtaking – animals immortalized in unguarded moments of “just being”. Long after their last heart beats – these exquisite creatures will live on in Fred’s beautiful images. Not staged or pre-planned but natural, free, wild and magnificent.

ABH Kids – Cristiano & Alex care about animals and this is very clear when you look at these two boys. Cristiano (2) and Alex (4) came to honour Qumquat clutching photos and flowers.  As this magnificent elephant matriarch lay dying on October 28, 2012 – she could never have known that her death would help to galvanize a global movement in her name. October now belongs to Qumquat!

The Campaign Against Canned Hunting – (CACH) – most people aren’t even aware that this sport exists. A lion in a cage or a fenced pen is shot. The only reason – the gratification of a heartless, selfish, ego-entitled person who wants bragging rights for “bagging” one of Africa’s most iconic big cats.
