Hey, I'm Stav!

For nearly a decade, I’ve been obsessed with traveling the world, choosing each destination based on the animals I dream of encountering and photographing.

​

From the dense jungles of Asia, to the sweeping savannahs of Africa, and the icy expanses of the Arctic, I’ve dedicated myself to capturing and sharing the beauty of the natural world. It’s a lifelong project -with many places still waiting to be explored.

Beginnings:

It all began in 2016 when I visited South Africa for the first time.

My first safari was life-changing, and I was instantly hooked. However when I returned home and reviewed the photos from my GoPro, I couldn’t help but laugh at how far they fell short of capturing the experience.

​

Africa had left a profound impact on me, and at 19 years old I made the decision to move to Johannesburg, where I spent a year volunteering in a children's education program. Naturally, I upgraded my camera gear and spent all my free time on safari travelling South and East-Africa. During that transformative year, I developed a deep passion for Africa—its people, culture, and wildlife.

​

Since then, I’ve made frequent trips back to Africa, a place that truly has my heart. These experiences have fueled my passion for exploring untouched regions of our planet, witnessing and capturing the incredible wildlife that exists within it.
