Griet Van Malderen

My journey into photography began with a life-changing safari in South Africa. What started as a simple fascination with capturing wildlife soon became an obsession-one that led me across Africa, documenting the untamed beauty of the natural world. Over the years, my passion evolved into a profession, allowing me to tell the stories of the wild through my lens.

For me, photography isn't just about capturing moments; it's about creating a deeper connection between people and nature. My work focuses on big tuskers, rare wildlife encounters, and the raw emotions of the animal kingdom, all while emphasizing the urgency of conservation.

Beyond photography, I bring my love for the wild into everyday life through Wild Souls, my brand inspired by nature. From my book Wild Souls-a collection of elegant black-and-white wildlife portraits-to my Kikoy collection, which reflects the effortless beauty of Africa, every creation is rooted in a deep respect for the wilderness.
