I was immediately drawn to this lioness. She is one of the most beautiful lionesses I have ever seen, so I felt it should be the critical component of the image, with no need to include anything else. Cloudless mornings can often be a challenge, but it played a role in the success of this image as it allows for a strong instant connection. She is the loyal female to arguably, the most famous lion in the world, Scar. Scar is thought to have lived for more than 15 years and be the oldest lion in the Maasai Mara. Over his years, he and his brothers have dominated two prides in the reserve, including the most famous of all, the Marsh Pride, which featured in BBC films. He has also survived a spear wound from a Maasai Warrior and received his defining facial injury while expanding his territories in 2011. It is only fitting for such a powerful lion to have a lioness in her prime by his side. It is as if Scar's story has become most interesting towards the end of his life. Scar, although severely injured, continues to be protected by his entire pride from menacing hyenas and other intruding male lions. As well as being protected, he is the first to eat even though he is unable to hunt himself. It was surreal to spend time with a limping lion that commanded such respect from all around him. It is nothing but remarkable in the world of lions that he has been cared for in such a way which is a testament to what an incredible individual he is. I captured the frame using a remote camera which poses complications with wild lions. I have found they either pay the camera no attention or decide they want it for themselves. Unfortunately, it is more often than not the latter that results in the best images. For this reason, I use a customised protective box and make my attempts early in the morning when lions are most active. Then, it's just a matter of time before they get bored, and I can retrieve the camera to see what was captured. On this occasion, it was a success." Wildlife fine art photographer and conservationist, James Lewin, is entirely self-taught and first became interested in photography whilst in Kenya. Alongside his love of photography, James is an ardent conservationist and in partnership with Isabella Garrucho Fine Art we donates 20% of all image sales directly back to the conservation charities in the areas where the images were taken. Organizations like the Big Life Foundation, The Serengeti Cheetah Project, Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, Tsavo Trust, Borana Conservancy, The Mara Elephant Project and Lewa Conservancy, These organizations mission it is to protect the Elephants, Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos and Leopards he photographs along with their natural habitat. James's photographs are offered in 3 different printing formats / styles: Small Archival Pigment Prints: The most commonly used among professional photographers. Pigment Prints are made by digital inkjet printers, which mix ink to create specific hues. The ink is then applied directly to paper in fine detail. Medium / Large Silver Gelatin Prints: The gold standard in black and white printing which surpasses archival pigment prints in longevity, quality and detail. Premium Edition Platinum Palladium Prints: The prints selected are made in a darkroom and were very popular in the late 19th century. It uses platinum palladium as the light-sensitive material and has the very best archival rating of any print over 2,000+ years. This photograph will be printed once payment has been received and will ship directly from the printer the artist works with. Your certificate of authenticity will be shipped separately from your print and in most cases will ship directly from the gallery. The Gallery is more than happy to provide clients with the next available edition number, however, the Gallery can only guarantee the specific edition number the client will receive once payment has been received.
