This series of images were taken over several nights in an underground hide in Kenya. Overlooking a waterhole, the hide gave me prime position to photograph everything from birds and small animals through to elephants, giraffes and apex predators like lions and leopards. These animals all share this precious commodity, albeit with a strong degree of caution in case they became prey themselves. This danger is ever present and these images aim to capture this sense of vulnerability. Or in the lions case, the confidence that comes with the title of ‘king of the jungle’.
