About

I’m Dylan Carvalho, a Zurich-based photographer who grew up chasing wild stories across the globe. Over the years, that same sense of curiosity has led me into client-focused work, capturing events, brands, and people with that same anticipation and eye for authenticity.

My journey began as a wildlife photographer and professional safari guide, trained in Kenya and South Africa, where I was immersed in conservation stories and cultures that sparked a lifelong love for visual storytelling. That foundation taught me to observe, anticipate, and respect the energy of every scene.

Origin

I completed the Ecotraining 1-year program, recognized as the industry’s benchmark for safari guide training. I spent much of my time in Kenya and South Africa, honing my skills as a professional safari guide while developing the patience and instinct that now define my photography.

My passion for wildlife conservation led me to an internship with painteddog.tv, a conservation film company. I was involved in projects such as wild dog collaring, elephant translocation, and lion darting, and also worked as a TV presenter, sharing these stories with a global audience. These experiences continue to influence how I approach photography today—whether I’m documenting raw wildlife encounters or the atmosphere of an international conference.

Over the years I’ve expanded far beyond my early guiding days, visiting more than 45 countries across six continents. My journey has taken me from remote wildlife conservancies to major international events, where I’ve worked on both conservation-driven projects and commercial assignments. This global perspective allows me to adapt to different environments and cultures while staying true to my goal: creating images that don’t just document, but connect people to the story behind them.
