Species: Lions | Location: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
On a photography safari in Serengeti, I came a few lionesses walking with a small cub. The cub had been walking for some time and had got tired. This is when the motherly love of the lioness became apparent when she started licking the cub to provide encouragement. I used my fixed 400mm lens to capture the scene at 1/640 and F6.3.
About The Photographer
MY PASSION IS PHOTO PHILANTHROPY
My desire to help others and use art to make a difference has inspired me to delve into the world of Photo Philanthropy. Images have an undeniable power, and I want to harness that power and use it to better the conditions of living for those in the world who are not lucky enough to enjoy the luxuries many of us have been blessed with. By means of non-profit organizations and charities, all the proceeds from this website will benefit those in need around the globe.
A camera is really an excuse to delve deeper into a place than we otherwise would. Looking for a good shot forces us to seek out the unique features and scenic beauty of a location, to explore further, and to interact with our surroundings. When you press the shutter release, you're making a personal connection to the place and its people. My lifelong passion is to strive for originality and excellence, which is a continuous effort!
