Why Do Collectors Invest in Limited Edition Black & White Wildlife Prints?"
Limited Edition Fine Art Prints — Only 11 Exist Worldwide
Discover why owning one of Peter Delaney’s black and white wildlife prints is more than acquiring art — it’s joining a legacy of storytelling and craftsmanship.
Only 11 Worldwide — A Collector’s Dream
Each photograph in Peter’s Limited Edition Collection is available in just 11 signed prints globally. This is not arbitrary. It reflects:
The 11 years Peter spent in finance before devoting his life to photography
The average elephant herd size in Amboseli, where many of his iconic images were captured
His desire to offer intimacy and exclusivity to serious collectors
These are not open editions. Once all 11 are sold, no further prints are produced

Emotional Alchemy
Why Black and White?
Black and white removes distraction. It distils form, texture, and emotion into pure visual poetry.
By stripping away colour, Peter’s work reveals the raw structure of nature — eyelashes, hide, muscle, and movement — all rendered with emotional precision.
In this soulful close-up, the young bull embodies nature’s contradictions:
Eyes like polished amber, holding generations of ancestral memory
Eyelashes like charcoal strokes, softening the warrior’s profile
Skin webbed with fissures, not from decay but from seasons of survival
Museum-Grade Craft
Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm—the same cotton rag paper used by Ansel Adams.
Includes Collector’s Story (field notes from Peter’s encounter, included with each limited edition).

Why Collectors Wait Years for These Prints"
“Scarcity isn’t a marketing tactic—it’s my artistic creed.” – Peter Delaney
1. The 11 Rule
Peter releases only what he considers his absolute best work — fewer than 5 images per year meet his standard.
Each edition is strictly limited to 11 hand-signed prints worldwide, plus 1 artist proof reserved for the artist’s archive and legacy collection.
No reprints. No alternate sizes.
No exceptions.
“Most photographers flood the market. I believe a true collector’s piece should feel like unearthing a diamond.”
2. One Size, One Vision
Exclusively A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) — sized for intimacy, not excess.
Why it matters: It forces the viewer to step closer, engaging with every eyelash and every crack in the hide — details often lost in oversized formats.
It’s a format that fits just as elegantly in a Tokyo apartment as it does in a Cape Town villa.
3. The Delaney Difference
No size variations — unlike artists who dilute their work with S/M/L options, Peter’s single-edition approach preserves the artwork’s integrity.
