Mal Keeble, Night Vision (Animal 2020)

The images in this "night vision" series were captured at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. The images are of an Olive Python, Cassowary and Western Lowland Gorilla. The eyes of each of these animals were cautiously watching me as I zoomed in with a 70-200mm lens and waited for the right shot. I love the starkness of the images with focus on the eyes, as every good portrait photograph should do.
