The Animal Kingdom
For as long as I can remember, my love of animals has been a part of my life. I find their behavior endlessly fascinating, and I feel we can learn something about ourselves by studying how they view us. Over the years, as a photographer I've become more and more interested in photographing animals, both in the wild and in zoos. My favorite animals to photograph are gorillas and the big cats, particularly tigers. Photographically, I'm most drawn to shooting close-up portraits of animals, rather than full body or action shots. I find it fascinating to capture their mood, personality and temperament in images, and to share that connection with viewers.
