"Heart of Darkness"

my black-and-white fine-art print, captures a moment with a Kalahari black-maned lion that will leave you feeling both exhilarated and unnerved. This lion has murder on his mind as he hunts a female and cubs from another pride. Just a few minutes before, I watched an anxious mother and cubs run towards me and pass me, not realizing the danger they were in. It wasn't until the male lion came into view that I understood why they were in such a hurry. I followed as far as I could, photographing him as he walked after the lioness and cubs. As you gaze upon the lion's intense eyes in this print, you'll feel the fear that our forefathers once experienced in the presence of these majestic creatures. The lion's predatory gaze is a chilling reminder of the danger that once threatened their families and livestock. Hang "Heart of Darkness" on your wall and feel the connection between man and beast, a reminder of the fragility and strength of our world.

I position myself and waited for over an hour to get this capture of an eye to eye moment with a Kalahari black-maned lion, it left me feeling both exhilarated and unnerved but I held it together to get one of my best Kalahari lion Portraits.

In my fine-art print "Heart of Darkness," a profound connection between man and beast unfolds. The piercing gaze of the Kalahari black-maned lion encapsulates the raw power of nature, urging us to respect and protect it.
