Photographer – Jenny Hishin

Jenny Hishin is a wildlife photojournalist and photographic fine artist, and has enjoyed over 15 years working in southern Africa’s conservation and safari industry. 

Her fondest memories are of animals and the joy of being outdoors. She grew up with an endless fascination for Nature. It is in the natural world where Jenny found herself at home as a photographer and storyteller. 

After a career as a copywriting and art director in the advertising industry she followed her heart into the wilderness and became a guide with the world-renowned safari group, Singita. 

She is particularly interested in animal behaviour and the similarities and differences between species, including ourselves. Being sensitive to an animal’s behaviour and able to anticipate its next move gives one a great advantage in photography, and anticipating moments is key to capturing great photographs. She is also a stickler for the highest ethics when photographing wildlife. 

While a picture may paint a thousand words the art of storytelling brings it to life. Now, as a photojournalist, Jenny is able to further engage an audience, impart knowledge and generate an even greater appreciation for animals and their environment, and the protection of both. 

In addition to photojournalism Jenny’s wildlife photographic fine art has developed from her appreciation of art, awe of the natural world and attention to relevant detail. She favours images that hint at the nuances of wild beauty, subdued splendour, open space and natural grace. 

I’ve been fortunate enough to have my photojournalism and wildlife photographic fine art published and displayed on various platforms internationally. I’m sharply fovused on my future as a photojournalist and photographic fine artist for Africa’s wildlife and wilderness.
