Description:

An African Journal, is a special way to enjoy the photographers work. Here one can almost touch the passion and compassion this artist-photographer feels for Southern Africa, its sweeping landscapes, its animals and its people with their wide variety of life-styles. Horst Klemm started his career studying Graphic Design in Stuttgart and soon discovered his talent for photography. Driven by his longing for the golden age of adventure he became the classical traveller. Challenged by Africa’s cultures, landscapes and wildlife he settled in South Africa in 1974 and began his career in the field of advertising photography, winning numerous awards.

His true passion, however, is nature and its immense diversity of wildlife. His fine art work depicting the rural communities, landscapes and wildlife is noted for his meticulous attention to detail, form and lighting. An African Journal is a unique reflection on the spirit of Africa. Presentation copies were ordered for the royal libraries of Queen Elizabeth of England, Queen Margarethe of Denmark, Nelson Mandela, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Helmut Kohl, Elton John, Oprah Winfrey, Omar Sharif and many other distinguished personalities.
