The Day Is Long

2022

My love for the Sri Lankan Leopard seems to have developed into another autistic obsession recently — I am continually developing new compositions and ideas featuring these beautiful cats.

This composition was inspired by a photograph I captured a few years ago titled ‘Pearly Whites’ — I loved the energy in that frame, and I wanted to convey that again in this photograph.

It’s different to most of my leopard work in that it doesn’t show his eyes, but I think it tells a story, and that’s always the overarching aim with my work.
