Looking at all his impacting and beautiful photography, there was not one photograph I didn't react to and made a comment about how amazing it was. It seemed as if each picture could tell a story through the animal's eyes. All his photographs should emotion whether if it was looking at the animal or if he captured the different backgrounds and how it all complimented each other.
My favorite photo was the one of the giraffe by itself looking afar standing next to a tall tree. It's my favorite because the sky and the background looks impacting and it's what makes the photo so beautiful. The fact that the giraffe looks small compared to everything else and looks as if its about to walk into it makes the photo as well. Its taken from a good angle as if you're in the photo standing behind the giraffe.

His reason for taking these photographs is because his interest in animals and shooting them in their state of being before they're no longer are.
His hope is to show that animals and humans have an equal right to live.
