Dare To Dream

It has been sometime since I last released a photograph of a lioness – it is easy to be drawn-in by the majesty of the adult male and the mane, but there is a delicate beauty in the face of a lioness and I wanted to capture that in my latest portrait.

We found an ideal, simplistic backdrop and then we just had to wait patiently for the lioness to rise from her slumber and hope that the opportunity to capture the portrait I had mind would present itself.

It was worth the wait because when she rose, she stared into the sky and her eyes spoke a thousand words – I couldn’t have dreamt of a better result.
