Memoir meets photo book in this inspiring story of a photographer's search for one of Africa's most rare and magnificent animals.
This inspiring book tells the story of a photographer''s journey to find the mysterious black leopard.
There are few creatures as gorgeous and elusive as the black leopard. In Africa, these magnificent cats are so rare as to be the stuff of legend. Will Burrard-Lucas''s love for leopards began during his childhood in Tanzania and propelled him into a career as a wildlife photographer. In his quest to create intimate portraits of animals, he developed innovative technology, including a remotely controlled camera buggy and a high quality camera trap system for photographing nocturnal creatures. Then, one day in 2018, he heard about sightings of a young African black leopard in Kenya and with the help of people from the local community, he succeeded in capturing a series of high-quality photographs of the elusive cat. In this compelling and visually stunning book, Burrard-Lucas tells his story of creativity, entrepreneurship, and passion for wild animals, alongside awe-inspiring images of lions, elephants, and the black leopard itself.
• STAR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER: Will Burrard-Lucas''s passion for nature and expertise in camera technology have earned him coverage from National Geographic, The New York Times, and the BBC—and over 1 million fans enjoy his breathtaking work online.
• NATURE''S HIDDEN WONDERS: Black leopards are individual animals in whom a gene mutation results in excess melanin and an elegant black coat. Most are found in Southeast Asia, where lush vegetation offers them camouflage. In the semiarid shrub lands of Africa, black leopards are extraordinarily rare. Burrard-Lucas''s images—showing these beautiful creatures prowling their territory under cover of night—are vivid reminders of nature''s hidden wonders.
• INCREDIBLE STORY: This is an adventure story that takes place in remote and wild corners of Africa. It reveals Burrard-Lucas''s devotion, vision, and innovation that led to him capturing photos that are not only incredibly rare, but also breathtakingly beautiful.
Perfect for:
• Aspiring and professional photographers
• Photography buffs
• Nature and animal lovers
• Big cat enthusiasts
• Conservationists
• National Geographic readers
• Fans of memoir and adventure stories
• Travelers to Eastern and Southern Africa
