Profile of a Zebra (Limited Edition of 5), 40"x60" - Animal Wall Art
By Viet Chu
Located in New York, NY
New York City based wildlife and street photographer Viet Chu, captured this breathtaking monochrome shot of a profile of a Zebra on a Black background. This image was taken in 2016, in Sayari Camp, Serengeti, Asilia Africa. Chu’s emphasis is to give us a glimpse of an everyday life in the wild, and to inspire us by the beauty and grace of this black and white striped animal.
Viet Chu is a world traveler for photographic assignments. He finds beauty in life’s special moments in time, capturing each with his unique photographic style. Chu’s work is a reflection of his journey’s and life experiences. In his approach to capture an image, he utilizes traditional and non-traditional means of lighting. It is then infused with his intuitive sensibility, converging it with emotional intelligence, to create a simple composition of shadows, light, subject and background. His goal is to capture a moment in time that tells a story for the rest of time.
