Her use of stark, gritty black and white is intended to bridge time, to push viewers to imagine a world when wildlife was plentiful.

Her initial career in finances has provided her the foundation from which she has a secondary career as a photographer. Without completely leaving her financial work, she has successfully created a photographic life that has taken her around the world. Some of her work, particularly those of African elephants, is helping to create greater awareness of the plight faced by these great animals.

Levon Biss was born in 1975 and grew up in South London. He trained initially to be an illustrator and it was not until his late teens that he picked up a camera, combining photography with his love of sports. Much of Levon's work concentrates on shooting dynamic action portraits that show the beauty of the human form in movement. His keen understanding of the mind-set and extraordinary talents of athletes at their peak gives Levon an easy affinity with his subjects and this very much underpins the technical success of his images. His more recent work in a personal project called Microsculpture in which he captures incredibly detailed photographs of insects. Levon has also been drawn to cover the culture surrounding sport and the fan's perspective. His project 'One Love' is a brilliant exploration of the global love and passion for football, it took him to 26 countries, produced a best selling book, and an exhibition viewed by 1.2 million people worldwide. Alongside his sports work, Levon has fulfilled many portrait and lifestyle commissions that showcase his great creativity and flexibility as a photographer, these include advertising shoots for O2, Deutsche Post, Mastercard and Sky and editorial work for the Observer, GQ and New York Times.
