Observing. Learning. Documenting.
The goal is not just to capture the animal, but to capture its behavior, its emotions in the moment, and ultimately, its personality.
Computer processing was used only to lightly edit the photos: color correction, contrast and sharpness, not to make any substantial or generative changes to the image captured by the camera.
