About the work
The Morning Show
A glimpse of a moment caught on my remotely controlled camera.
The lioness who accompanied the lion then went off with the camera.
It’s all about the small things and because all this happened just
before 6.50am, there was enough morning dew to give the lion’s
mane a tiny rinse.
We recovered the camera sometime later and it was quite a thrill
to see the last image the bitten camera had taken. Remotes are
a low-percentage play, but when they come off and the subject
is looking strong, they transcend handheld work because of the
proximity and the angle of view. He really did put on The Morning
Show.
There is no doubt that this photograph will be in much demand. I
certainly want it for my wall.
