"Size selected is the final paper size with a white border. Final dimensions may vary slightly to preserve the original image ratio."

Five giraffes moving in diagonal procession after a summer storm. The middle one stopped and held my gaze. The others kept walking. I hadn't anticipated the symmetry.

Printed by hand in my South Africa studio on museum-grade archival fine art paper — smooth cotton rag.

This print is toned in Van Dyke brown — a warm, rich process that shifts the neutral greys of black and white photography into deep chocolate and earthy russet. The result is painterly and tactile, with softened highlights and warm shadows that give the print a timeless, antique quality. A finish chosen for this print, and this edition alone.

Shortlisted — Hasselblad Masters 2026.

✓ White border, hand-signed by Peter Delaney
✓ Hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity
✓ Backstory of the print, signed by the artist

"Each print is carefully reviewed before it leaves the studio to ensure it meets the standard the work demands." — Peter

Into the Wild — Serendipity | The Story

Some photographs are planned. Others simply find you.

The storm had just passed over the Mara, leaving behind a sky full of texture and light. Then, from the distance, five giraffes emerged, walking across the open savannah as though choreographed. One paused. The others continued.

For a brief moment, everything aligned: the rhythm of their stride, the movement of the grass, the vast sky above, and the silence that follows rain. There was nothing to direct, nothing to change. Only to witness.

A reminder that nature sometimes offers moments more beautiful than anything we could ever imagine.

Collector Stories

Reflections from collectors who have welcomed Peter Delaney's artwork into their homes around the world.

"

After some delay, I finally had 'Bonds of Love' framed and placed on my bedroom wall, a gift from my husband for our 50th wedding anniversary. He passed away not long after, and two years on, this photograph continues to comfort me. It is the first thing I see every morning, and it gladdens my heart.

— Sally, Johannesburg

This is not a photograph hanging on a wall. It is a window into something vast and unhurried.

To have one of Peter Delaney's images in your home is your connection to a world few of us will ever experience, and a connection to nature and the earth that is truly rare.

— Spencer Wynn

"

Queen of the Mara has occupied a central place in our living room since 2020. It helped us feel connected to the world at a time when we... weren't.

— Paul, Collector
