Big cats tend to dominate any wildlife encounter, not simply because of their size but because of the self-possession they carry into a space. This section gathers those species into one place, with an emphasis on posture, movement, and the environments that make each animal feel distinct.
It also reflects the conservation tensions that surround large predators, from habitat loss to conflict with people living beside them. You can return to the wider mammal archive or move into field notes and travel posts tied to wildlife locations across the globe.
Photographing big cats requires a deep respect for their space and an understanding of their elusive nature. I am committed to expanding this section with new observations from both wild reserves and dedicated conservation centers. Through my ongoing work, I hope to highlight the majesty of these apex predators and draw attention to the critical conservation efforts needed to ensure their survival for future generations.
