IDUBE is the Zulu word for Zebra. The Zulus, Shangaans Xhosas and Ndebele's are tribes of the Nguni nation of South Africa.

Zebras are one of Africa's most photogenic animals and their elegant form and distinct contrast pattern make them great models for wildlife portraits.


I was born and raised in South Africa but now live in Vancouver British Columbia Canada. I am a keen photographer and visit Africa regularly on photo safaris. I am interested in studio and street photography but my real passion is wildlife.
