Origin

As a trained guide, Dylan completed the Ecotraining 1-year program, recognized as the best industry standard for guide training. He spent most of his time in Kenya and South Africa, honing his skills as a professional safari guide.

His passion for wildlife conservation led him to an internship with painteddog.tv, a wildlife conservation film company. Here, he was heavily involved in conservation efforts such as Wild Dogs Collaring, Elephant Translocation, Lion Darting, and more. As a TV presenter, he became a virtual guide for the audience, sharing his knowledge and approach to wildlife conservation.

In addition, he broadened his horizons by working at a wildlife conservancy in the Pantanal, Brazil. This experience exposed him to a completely foreign world, allowing him to learn about the unique culture and wildlife of the world's largest wetland. Dylan's willingness to explore new territories and immerse himself in different cultures has allowed him to develop a deeper understanding of wildlife and conservation, enriching his work as a photographer and safari guide.
