About the Item
"The Serengeti is my favourite place to photograph lions for several reasons. Firstly, The Serengeti remains a stronghold for lions, with around 3,000 individuals. The Serengeti is also home to some of Africa's most impressive lions. Tragically, 100 years ago, an estimated 200,000 lions across Africa have plummeted to only 20,000 today. Another reason is that Serengeti is dotted with numerous captivating rock formations (kopjes), which are often part of a dominant lion prides core territory. They provide a lion pride with almost everything they need. They are the perfect safe place to raise cubs, offer an unparalleled vantage point for scouting potential prey, and the rocks heat up in the day and remain warm long into the evening, making them an excellent resting place. They provide shelter during rainstorms and are also the perfect spot to dry off away from the wet grasses. Aside from being the ideal location for lions, they make the perfect elevation allowing for striking compositions with clean backdrops.
We had seen this mating pair in Northern Serengeti every day over the previous four days with no photographic opportunity. On our last morning in the North, we passed the same area to see if they were still around. To our luck, we found them fast asleep on top of a small kopje. As the sun heated up, they began to stretch, and so we quickly moved into position, predicting the direction they might move. Moments later, they approached the edge of the rock to scan the surroundings for potential prey before descending to a nearby bush for shade."

- James Lewin - Sundowners on the Serengeti Plains, 2022, Printed AfterBy James LewinLocated in Greenwich, CT"When I returned to The Serengeti in October 2022, I was determined to capture a cheetah portrait like no other I had seen before, but I didn't expect to make a portrait excluding my subjects' faces. My usual approach would be to create a striking close-up, much like my photograph ""The Huntress of Namiri"", taken in the same place the year before. I, however, could not ignore the dramatic late afternoon light and immediately knew it must be a prominent feature. As we approached, I wasn't confident there could be a photograph, but once in position, I immediately loved the contrast between the peacefully posing cheetahs set...Category

- James Lewin - Land of Lions, Photography 2023, Printed AfterBy James LewinLocated in Greenwich, CTAvailable sizes: 18” x 25.85” - Edition of 8 28” x 40.21” - Edition of 8 38” x 54.57” - Edition of 6 48” x 68.93” - Edition of 6 The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa, with over 3,000 individuals, making it undoubtedly the land of lions. When I found this pride of lions on the open short grass plains of Eastern Serengeti, I immediately thought I needed to create a group portrait. I am always looking to make photographs different from anything I have ever taken, and this was definitely one of those moments. I often aim for my portraits, especially of predators, to be striking and imposing, which means my camera needs to be extremely close to the subject. I used a remote-controlled camera to safely capture the shot without disturbing them with a large vehicle. My remote-controlled buggy allowed me to move the camera into position and adjust the composition, a technique I mastered over the past five years. In the morning, lions are often very active; seeing a foreign object...Category
