The animal kingdom is a realm of wonder, diversity, and untold mysteries. Despite millennia of human existence, we still have much to discover about the creatures that inhabit our world alongside us. Occasionally, news breaks of scientists uncovering new species of insects, birds, fish, and other fauna, reminding us of the vastness of Earth’s biodiversity. Yet, amidst these discoveries, we also grapple with the grim reality of species depletion caused by human activity. Today, more than ever, conservation efforts are paramount to safeguarding wildlife, even in seemingly mundane ways such as capturing photos of majestic animals in zoos.
Renowned photographer Goran Anastasowski, dubbed the “king of the camera” by the British newspaper Daily Mail, is deeply immersed in the world of wildlife photography. For years, he has traversed the globe, skillfully capturing stunning portraits of a wide array of creatures, from giraffes and horses to lions and monkeys.
In recent times, Anastasowski’s focus has turned to the grandeur of big felines, including leopards, lions, and tigers. Over the span of a decade, he has dedicated himself to photographing these majestic creatures in all their glory. To Anastasowski, these felines possess qualities that resonate deeply with human aspirations: love, courage, sincerity, and loyalty. He believes that wild animals are capable of experiencing emotions akin to humans, and through his lens, he endeavors to capture this uncannily familiar essence.
