About me
My Name Is
JOHAN J BOTHA
I have been an active Wildlife photographer for almost 30 years and am still enjoying every minute of doing so! Most of my wildlife photography is done in Africa, specifically South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania but I have photographed also extensively in Alaska, Antarctica, South America, Australia, Europe and the United States.
Major photographic achievements
I have been a category winner in both the UK Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition as well as a category winner in the Natures Best Magazine Competition in the USA. I was also honoured as South African Wildlife Photographer of the year. My work have been widely published (various magazines, calenders, etc) and also exhibited in South Africa, the Natural History Museum in London and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. I hold several photographic honours from the national photographic societies in: South Africa, UK, USA, Australia and Europe (FIAP). I have just published two books on wildlife photography.
Lectures, Talks and Judging
I have been invited and have done several national and international presentations and talks on photography. I served as judge for many South African and International photographic competitions and salons. Most of my wildlife photography is done in Africa, specifically South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania but I have photographed also extensively in Alaska, Antarctica, South America, Australia, Europe and the United States.
