The Crowned Prince

from $35.00

It’s easy to get distracted on safari, to focus only on the "big ticket" items. We were at Lake Nakuru, and almost everyone's attention was on a white rhino and calf. But they were resting in bad light, and my eye was completely stolen by this.

This Grey Crowned Crane simply stopped me in my tracks. I couldn't take my eyes off it. The pose was so elegant, the form a study in graceful curves, and that magnificent, straw-like crown looked like a piece of fine art in itself.

"The Crowned Prince" is the portrait from that moment. It’s a photograph that celebrates the quiet, unexpected regality you can find when you look past the obvious.

A signature piece from the "Feathered Majesty" chapter of the "Africa's Primal Grace" collection, this print is a stunning statement of elegance.

Print & Medium

This photograph is all about color and detail—the vibrant red of the wattle, the piercing blue eye, and the incredible, fine texture of the golden crown. A fully matte paper would slightly dull these vibrant colors.

Therefore, my choice for this print is the Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta. This is a museum-grade paper with a subtle, beautiful satin-gloss finish. This surface is renowned for making colors "pop" with rich saturation while rendering fine details with breathtaking sharpness. It’s the perfect medium to bring this regal portrait to life.

This print is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
