Sir Ranulph Fiennes | Portrait

My portrait of explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes. I find the desire to explore at the risk of serious peril a pretty foreign thought process, my life experience has been very different. I'm unquestionably in awe of Sir Ranulph's many achievements but more-so totally fascinated by the underlying desire to undertake these challenges. It of course goes against most people's hard wired survival instincts, yet these types of people exist, pushing themselves to the absolute limit, facing extraordinary danger through their own desire and choices. A hugely interesting subject.
