KIRSTEN FROST – PHOTOGRAPHERS BIO
Kirsten Frost began his interest in photography at a young age with a small ‘point-and-shoot’ camera in hand.
Kirsten Frost’s work quickly gained recognition in the South African photography scene, and by the age of 16, he was sponsored with professional-level equipment by Outdoorphoto. His wildlife photography featured on the covers of national magazines before he turned 18. Driven by a deep passion for Africa’s wild places, Kirsten went on to study Nature Conservation. After successfully completing his qualification, he gained hands-on field experience, with a particular interest in wetland ecosystems.
Kirsten earned recognition in international photographic competitions and soon secured a dream role as a photographic guide at Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana, where he shared his expertise in wildlife photography and the natural world with guests. He was awarded 2017 Botswana Wildlife Photographer of the Year for his captivating portfolio created at Mashatu.
Beyond accolades, Kirsten has contributed meaningfully to conservation initiatives, including the highly successful Prints for Wildlife campaign, which raised US$660,200 for African Parks through the sale of wildlife prints by some of the world’s most acclaimed wildlife photographers. His fine art wildlife prints have also been donated to MalaMala Private Game Reserve in South Africa—where he leads wildlife photo tours—to support community outreach and anti-poaching efforts. Additionally, his nature prints have featured in Remembering Wildlife, a globally recognised project supporting wildlife conservation across Africa.
FROST Prints with Purpose is Kirsten’s own initiative, raising funds for the management of protected areas, conservation of key wildlife species, and support of indigenous communities through the sale of wildlife and cultural prints on this website.
Kirsten runs FROST Photo Tours, where he plans and leads cultural and wildlife photography tours across the globe. He travels with guests to awe-inspiring photographic destinations, offering expert photographic tuition along the way. His interest in cultural photography began during his travels to some of the world’s most remote corners. Kirsten Frost’s upcoming expeditions promise exciting adventures that continue to push creative boundaries in pursuit of unforgettable images. Connect on social media below:
