Baboon Mother And Infant In Serengeti Plains | Limited Edition of 10
Wild Baboon Family Resting On Dry Savannah Floor
There’s a kind of stillness that settles over the Serengeti when the wind drops and the animals stop moving for a moment. It’s not silence exactly — more like a pause. This small baboon family had gathered on a patch of dry grass, the mother seated upright with her infant tucked tightly into her side while another youngster lingered nearby, unsure whether to wander or stay. The posture of the adult feels protective but relaxed, like someone who’s learned over time that watchfulness doesn’t always need to be obvious.
What struck me here was the contrast between vulnerability and awareness. The infant clings instinctively, barely separating itself from the mother’s fur, while the older juvenile looks outward, eyes fixed on something beyond the frame. The ground beneath them is scattered with brittle stalks of savannah grass, flattened by passing herds and long dry seasons. Nothing in the scene feels staged or composed — it’s just life carrying on quietly in one of the most storied landscapes on the planet.
I photographed this on location while travelling through the Serengeti in northern Tanzania, spending long hours observing troop behaviour from a respectful distance. Moments like this aren’t dramatic in the usual sense, but they reveal the social structure that makes survival possible out here. The bond between the mother and infant is immediate and unmistakable, a reminder that even in the wild, family units form the centre of everything.
Each print is produced with archival pigment inks on Epson Premium Luster paper, personally signed by me, and includes a certificate of authenticity as part of this limited-edition release. Explore more from my wildlife wall art prints.

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.
