Three Kings

Wim van den Heever's Image

Wim came across these king penguins on a beach in the Falkland Islands just as the sun was rising.

They were caught up in a fascinating mating behaviour – the two males were constantly moving around the female using their flippers to fend the other off.

Wim has had an interest in photography and nature for as long as he can remember. From an early age, it seemed a natural progression for him to combine the two passions through a career in wildlife photography. He sees photography as a lifestyle rather than a hobby.
