A King & His Queen

2024

Relationships in the animal kingdom have always fascinated me – from the life-long love affair of the flamingo, to the complexities of the elephant herd, we could learn so much from the strong emotional bonds found throughout the animal kingdom.

There are few bonds as strong as that between a lion and its pride, every aspect of the prides daily life revolves around keeping each other alive and thriving, and I wanted to try and capture some of that bond in a photograph.

The idea has been floating around for a few months, it was a case of visiting the pride often, and waiting for the right moment that told of the intricacies of this most special bond.
