Escape The Zoo Daniel Clarke

Federico Veronesi is a Kenya-based professional wildlife photographer and safari guide. This is his second time on the podcast. We spend time chatting about his upcoming photographic book, One Life, which is following up his incredible first book, “Light and Dust.”

We recorded this back in June when the Kickstarter was up and running. Unfortunately, it took me a little longer to edit than I would have liked. That being said, the book will be available for purchase in October. I’ll link to where you can buy / pre-order on escapethezoo.tv/podcast.

We chat about:


the book
the life and death of the most famous elephant on Earth
Trophy hunting
Wildlife in the times of COVID
