Within

2023

My first and only opportunity to photograph the incredible snow leopard was in 2016, and my time with them left me with fond memories – they are easily one of the most beautiful creatures to roam this Earth, and I have been waiting for an opportunity to work with them again ever since.

It has been a long wait, but it was well worth the wait – in recent weeks I have had three incredible encounters with this young male snow leopard, each unforgettable, and each yielding some results. 

This portrait is perhaps my favourite photograph of 2023, it has everything and there is very little I would change if I had the chance again. He looks full of confidence and charm, and his eyes are so hauntingly beautiful.
