The Hunter

Description

I tend to look for aesthetics and elegance in photography. I do not hide the fact that nature is full of drama, but I capture it obliquely rather than explicitly. It was also the case of this beautiful cheetah, which I photographed shortly after a successful impala hunt. The seconds when the elegant hunter watched the surroundings to check if there was a danger that someone would rob him of the prey decently hidden in the grass, was more interesting to me than the dramatic moments that preceded. Cheetahs are not successful in hunting every time, but this individual proved his capability when he successfully hunted young zebra a few days later.
