Captured in South Africa, Eyes of the Bush is one of the most personal photographs in my collection. I had imagined an image like this long before I ever had the opportunity to create it.
While watching this lioness after she had brought down a wildebeest, dense vegetation made photography extremely difficult. I kept searching for a small opening through the bush until, for a brief moment, everything aligned. She looked directly towards me through the narrow gap and I captured the image I had hoped for.
With the light fading quickly, it became a race against time. That combination of anticipation, patience and timing makes Eyes of the Bush one of my absolute favourite photographs.
