Sean Patrick

Briza Publications author Sean Patrick has spent most of his life in close proximity to nature. He was schooled in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and then studied agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester (UK). After a brief stint in farming, his love of the bush drew him to the field-guiding industry. Sean has guided at and managed some of southern Africa’s top private lodges and in the process attained his FGASA Level 3 and SKS (DG) dangerous game qualifications. He is an accredited FGASA guide’s trainer and assessor. After years of experience living and working in the African bush, Sean has become an accomplished photographer. He is a versatile artist equally at home hanging from a helicopter shooting elephant and rhino captures, tracking the Big Five for photographic safaris and collaborating with magazine journalists for foreign or local publication commissions.

Sean established his company Natural Exposure in 2002 to offer clients the exposure and experience of wildlife that Sean himself is passionate about. Natural Exposure has a vast image library comprising thousands of Sean’s images; some can be seen at www.seanpattrick.com. Sean travels extensively to international destinations and leads unique safaris for Clearly Africa to some of the most pristine wilderness areas in Africa. This together with his photographic workshops means he spends a great deal of time exploring new areas with his guests, something he finds most enjoyable as it brings out the child in all involved.
