Wild Cheetah on the Grasslands | Limited Edition of 10
Fine Art Wall Print of a Cheetah from Safari in Tanzania
I took this on an unforgettable trip through Tanzania. It was one of those early mornings where everything feels quiet but alert. The air was cool, the light was sharp, and the land felt wide open. We had been out for hours when this cheetah stepped into view, moving slow, scanning. I waited. Then it paused—just long enough.
That brief stillness was everything. The wild cheetah on the grasslands wasn’t performing. It wasn’t hunting or running. It just stood there—composed, confident, and alive in the silence. That’s the kind of moment you hope for on safari. Not a chase. Just a connection.
The early sun hit across the body just right—highlighting the curves of muscle and the spotted pattern that almost blends into the field behind it. The grass was dry, brittle underfoot. The cheetah didn’t flinch. It turned its head for one last look before slipping out of frame. That’s when I made this image. What you see here is that fraction of time—a fine art wall print drawn from presence, not motion.
I left it in black and white. Color would have softened it. This isn’t about spectacle. It’s about structure and stillness. In monochrome, you feel the tension more—the contrast between strength and ease, the light and shadow sitting just right on the frame. It’s a portrait, but not posed. Natural geometry, honest texture.
This wild cheetah on the grasslands print came out of one of the best photographic days I’ve ever had. Tanzania changed how I see wildlife—less as something to chase, more as something to wait for. This moment didn’t roar. It whispered. And sometimes that lands harder.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
