Brushstrokes of gold: giraffe portrait shines in global wildlife fundraiser

A mesmerizing moment captured in the darkness of night showcases a Maasai giraffe delicately drinking at a watering hole in Shompole Community Land, located in southern Kenya. Photographer Gurcharan Roopra reminisces about the slow and deliberate movements of the giraffe, describing the experience of waiting in silence and working in near-total darkness to capture this almost mythical scene. With a long exposure and a faint flicker of light, Roopra was able to immortalize the graceful arc of motion as the giraffe quenches its thirst, providing a rare insight into the secret life of wildlife.

This stunning image, titled A Brushstroke of Gold, is just one of over 200 photographs featured in Edition Hope, the 2025 installment of Prints for Wildlife. This initiative, which is one of the largest wildlife photography print sales globally, brings together a diverse group of nature photographers, ranging from established names to up-and-coming talents. All proceeds from the sale go directly to Conservation International, a global non-profit organization dedicated to protecting biodiversity, restoring ecosystems, and supporting communities that rely on nature for their livelihoods. Since its inception in 2020, Prints for Wildlife has raised over £1.6 million for conservation efforts worldwide.

Each limited-edition print, including A Brushstroke of Gold, is priced at £100 and can be exclusively purchased for a limited time at printsforwildlife.org. By participating in this fundraiser, individuals have the opportunity to not only acquire remarkable pieces of wildlife photography but also contribute to the crucial work of safeguarding our planet’s natural treasures.
