Catching those brief, fleeting moments where the zoo boundaries seem to fade away and the true essence of the animal takes over. There’s something incredibly grounded about spending an afternoon watching the quiet rhythms of the wild up close.
Swipe through to see a couple favorite frames from my recent work at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo:
📸 1. Kayembe’s Corner – A small vantage point on the stone ridge, watching the world unfold with steady, deliberate eyes. (That toddler energy is unmatched!)
📸 2. Emerald Ancient – Wise eyes framing a slow-motion world, buried deep within a sea of sunlit green.
📸 3. Head Above the Rest – A statuesque silhouette breaks the horizon, keeping a watchful eye over the sun-drenched plains while the rest of the savanna moves behind it.
Which perspective speaks to you the most? Let me know in the comments!
