I had come across a handful of snapshots of black leopards taken in Africa, but as far as I knew, nobody had ever captured a series of high quality images of a wild black leopard in Africa before. I travelled to Kenya in January 2019 and spoke to the guides, landowner and rangers who had seen the leopard. With their help, I set up camera traps and managed to capture this image of the cat under a full moon.

Now she puts black makeup on her face in order to camouflage the white skin.

A leopardess perches in a tree. This photo was taken after sunset, so the usage of a spotlight to light up the leopardess was necessitated.

If you look carefully, you can see droplets of water on the leopardess’s back; I had been sitting with this leopard for hours in the rain, waiting for her to move.

A school of uniquely patterned spotted eagle rays passes beneath me on an unforgettable dive in the Maldives. Like most divers, I have always found these rays to be especially spellbinding. Scientists have just recently confirmed that the spotting on each ray is a unique identifier, the equivalent of a human fingerprint. I love how B&W reinforces that uniqueness, keenly displaying the distinctive spotting and shading differences between each.
