“I am not interested in creating work that is documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the field of photography of animals in the wild.” 

”I believe that being close to the animals makes a huge difference in the photographer’s ability to reveal its personality. You wouldn’t take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their soul; you’d move in close,”
