Limited edition run of 15 - 48” print for £1250
This award winning image of an unexpected David v Goliath wildlife interaction was captured in Serengeti National Park, February 2024. While waiting for a resting male lion to wake, I observed a female agama lizard approach with astonishing confidence, even touching the lion’s nose as she attempted to catch a fly from his face. The lion remained fast asleep.
Anticipating and hoping for a repeat of this bold behavior, I quickly fitted a 2x extender to my 400mm lens and waited. The agama returned, inching to within centimeters of the sleeping lion’s face before scuttling off when no prey appeared. Though fleeting, the encounter revealed an extraordinary contrast between power and audacity.
This award-winning wildlife image highlights the importance of patience, awareness, and adaptability in the field. Sometimes the most striking wildlife photographs emerge not from the anticipated moment, but from noticing and responding to the unexpected, featuring the Serengeti’s king and a fearless lizard in a single frame.
