Elevate Your NYC Space with Safari Wall Art
Is your NYC apartment missing a soul? Learn how bold, black and white safari art can become your statement of resilience, transforming urban grit into untamed elegance.
Your Urban Sanctuary Awaits
Discover the design secret that bridges the gap between Manhattan's skyline and the soul of the African wilderness.
“Urban Giant" | Amboseli Old Tusker
"Command your space with the quiet power of Africa’s giants. This archival print turns living rooms into landscapes."
The Concrete Jungle Meets the Wild
In a city that never sleeps, your home should be your sanctuary. But how do you create a space for calm and power amidst the concrete, noise, and pace?
The answer lies not in more minimalist furniture, but in a bold infusion of the wild. Archival black-and-white safari wall art is the transformative element your NYC apartment is missing. It’s more than decor; it’s a statement of resilience, a portal to adventure, and the key to a truly sophisticated urban oasis.
"The King’s Gaze"
"Rule your concrete kingdom. This lion’s stare is the only crown a NYC apartment needs."
The Power of a Focal Point: Command Your Space with Lion Art
Your living room needs an anchor. A focal point that draws the eye and sets the tone for the entire space. A lion, the true king of the savanna, does exactly that.
A striking lion portrait brings a quiet, unyielding authority to your interior. The monochrome palette ensures it integrates seamlessly with any colour scheme, while the subject’s raw power and direct gaze create a conversation piece that is both elegant and primal. It’s a daily reminder of strength and resilience—qualities every New Yorker understands.
“Rule your concrete kingdom. This lion’s stare is the only crown a NYC apartment needs.”
Tender Moment | Sacred Bond
"In a city that never sleeps, let their quiet intimacy whisper: ‘Here, you belong.’"
The Antidote to Chaos: Find Calm with Elephant Art
NYC is synonymous with chaos. Your home shouldn’t be. Elephant wall art embodies wisdom, memory, and calm. The gentle giants of the savanna bring a profound sense of tranquillity to any room, making them perfect for bedrooms, reading nooks, or your home office.
The textured details of their skin and their soulful, intelligent eyes add depth and a soft, organic element to minimalist spaces, counteracting the hard lines of the city.
“In a city that never sleeps, let their quiet intimacy whisper: ‘Here, you belong.”
Skyward Elegance
"Stretch beyond skyscrapers. A giraffe’s grace meets Manhattan’s skyline in monochrome poetry."
The Illusion of Space: Elevate Perspectives with Giraffe Art
Square footage is a premium, but perception is everything. The towering grace of a giraffe, captured in a vertical portrait, creates a powerful visual trick that draws the eye upward, making low ceilings feel higher and cramped hallways feel grander.
This is biophilic design at its most effective—using nature’s forms to improve our perception of a man-made environment.
“Stretch beyond skyscrapers. A giraffe’s grace meets Manhattan’s skyline in monochrome poetry.”
"Dine Beneath Giants"
"Where loft chic meets wild majesty. This archival Mara landscape turns dinner parties into safari soirees, with a giraffe’s grace presiding over every meal."
Proven Wellness: It's Not Just Decor, It's Design for Wellbeing
This isn't just an aesthetic choice; it's a wellness strategy. Studies in environmental psychology have shown that exposure to nature-inspired art can significantly reduce stress levels.
In your urban environment, where concrete dominates, these prints offer a vital visual escape:
Replace screen glare with a lion's contemplative gaze.
Mask drywall cracks with the intricate textures of elephant skin.
Offset subway grime with the perfect patterns of a zebra's stripes.
This is visual therapy for the city dweller.
From My Lens to Your Living Room: The Peter Delaney Difference
Every print tells a story—not just of the animal, but of the moment it was captured. My work is dedicated to freezing those split seconds of wild soul and raw beauty into timeless, archival artworks.
When you bring a Peter Delaney print into your home, you’re not just buying a photograph; you’re investing in a piece of the wild, a story of resilience, and a legacy of artistic craftsmanship. Each piece is produced to museum-quality standards, ensuring it remains a focal point for generations.

On Safari in Kenya
Photographing Wildlife Moments
Awakening to the Call of the Wild
Slowly awakening, I find myself in darkness, the wind gently stirring the fabric of the tent. Despite the chill in the air, I'm snug beneath a thick duvet, with a comforting warmth emanating from the hot water bottle at my feet. Suddenly, the sound that stirred me repeats—a lion's roar pierces the night, accompanied by the eerie cackling of hyenas and the distinct bark of jackals.
At that moment, I'm momentarily disoriented, until the realization hits me—I'm in Kenya, on safari. I drift back into sleep, attempting to suppress my bubbling excitement for the adventures that await in the days and nights ahead. I awake again, this time to the familiar chime of my iPhone alarm.

Safari Preparation: Essentials for Wildlife Photography
The air is crisp as I slip into my robe and flick on the kettle. Being a coffee addict, I've brought some freshly roasted beans from South Africa and my trusty AeroPress. A steaming hot shower invigorates me, and I emerge ready for the day ahead, clad in jeans, a T-shirt, and a snug fleece—always bringing two on safari, one for chilly mornings in the vehicle and one for evenings by the campfire. With my travel mug brimming with aromatic coffee, I set off to rendezvous with my clients. Today marks the beginning of their photography safari with me.

Feel the Spirit of the Savanna: Fine Art for Your Walls
As dawn breaks, a gentle pink hue tints the horizon while our 4x4 rumbles along the rugged terrain. My driver, Steve, punctuates the journey with his customary humour, quipping about the "African Massage" as we bounce along. His joke elicits a smile from me and laughter from my guests.
Our ride, a 4x4 Land Cruiser Troopy, is the standard vehicle used by most safari operators—a reliable workhorse with ample space. Ours has been modified for photographers, featuring wide-open windows and removed centre seats to allow for optimal shooting positions. The vehicle's roof can be opened, providing elevated angles for capturing subjects, particularly wildlife in trees or hidden in tall grass. While Steve focuses on navigating the terrain, I keep my eyes peeled for potential photography subjects.
The Art of Photographing African Wildlife
The chilly wind nips at my face, but I'm grateful for my trusty beanie, which keeps my head warm. It doesn't take long before our first wildlife encounter—a pride of lions consisting of five females and a young male sporting the beginnings of a mane.
As we approach, maintaining a respectful distance of about 20 meters, I adhere to my philosophy of not crowding our subjects. Getting too close can trigger a fight-or-flight response, so I prefer a slow, cautious approach from a distance. Alternatively, if the animals are on the move, I opt to let them come to us. This approach ensures the wildlife remains relaxed, allowing us to photograph their natural behaviour.

Capturing Moments: From Lions to Giraffes
As we approached the lions, I noticed the wide-eyed wonder on my client's face, reminiscent of my own first safari experience. The thrill, the reverence, and the tingling anticipation as you come face to face with a killing machine. Whenever I work with my clients, my first goal is to calm them down and reduce their over-excitement. After all, capturing a sharp photograph requires a steady hand and a calm mind. With a few deep breaths and reassuring words, the familiar click of shutters fills the air.

From the Heart of Africa: Captivating Wildlife Prints for Your Home
As we rounded a corner that morning, one of my beloved trees came into view. Bathed in the soft morning light, with remnants of storm clouds lingering overhead, the Acacia tree stood majestically. However, what truly ignited my photography juices was the sight of tall figures in the distance, gracefully traversing through the long grasses of the savannah. Giraffe! The five Masai giraffes were still a few kilometres away, but I knew their destination—a tree close by. Deciding to position our 4x4 at a distance from the tree, I calculated that we'd need a 200mm focal length lens to capture the composition I envisioned. However, I also instructed my client to have his second camera ready with a wider lens as I had another composition in mind.

Safari Splendor: Breathtaking Art for Every Room
With nearly two decades of experience photographing African wildlife, I've become intimately acquainted with animal behaviour. This familiarity often aids me in capturing extraordinary moments. Anticipating the route of the giraffes and predicted that the lead giraffe would stop to assess us before continuing on his way. What, I hadn't anticipated was the near-perfect symmetry that unfolded as the other giraffes continued their graceful stride in the background.

My client was thrilled with the resulting composition, and so was I. As the giraffes proceeded toward the tree, it was the last giraffe that provided us with the quintessential African scene. Stretching its neck to reach the last dangling leaves, amidst the lush grass and billowing white clouds, a stunning photographic print was born.

Breakfast in the Mara: A Photographer's Ritual
As my tummy rumbled, signalling perfect timing for breakfast, we made our way to my cherished tree. While my guests stretched their legs, Steve and I swiftly set up a table and chairs, arranging a delightful spread that the lodge had prepared for us: coffee, croissants, muffins, cheeses, and meats. It was a scrumptious breakfast, enjoyed amidst the expansive beauty of the Mara.

One of the most unforgettable highlights for my clients occurred in Amboseli, where we spent an entire morning in the company of one of the last remaining super tuskers in East Africa. It was a magical bucket-list moment to capture and spend time with this gentle pachyderm against the backdrop of the majestic snow-covered Kilimanjaro. But that's a story for another time.
