Deze fotograaf spendeerde 2,5 jaar in het Kabini Forest om enige zwarte panter vast te leggen

Als je dit als beroep mag uitoefenen en er ook goed voor betaald wordt, dan mag je echt van geluk spreken. Wat zijn dieren toch mooi en wat kan je ze als professionele fotograaf toch machtig mooi vastleggen zodat mensen ervan kunnen meegenieten!

Een fotograaf genaamd Shaaz Jung met maar liefst 927k volgers op Instagram heeft 2.5 jaar gespendeerd in het Kabini Forest in India om aan een documentaire te werken voor National Geographic.

Het was natuurlijk geen makkelijke klus maar het eindresultaat is echt magisch geworden! SUPER benieuwd naar de docu!

A leopard can’t change his spots, but I know one who can hide them. I’ve tracked many cats but none like the panther. The darkest of coats belong in the deepest of jungles and on a cold winter morning, when a rare ray of light filtered through the canopy, I saw something I had never seen before. Many tribes have been here, but only a few have seen the rosettes of a wild black panther. . . #shaazjung #nikonasia #natgeowild #wildlife #wildlifephotography #blackpanther #earthpix #love

I studied the jungle and drew intricate patterns of shadow art, tracked creatures of the moon with an astrological chart, I’ve seen the flight of a Ghost-bird and how it changed through the seasons, how her swan-song summoned a Phoenix to defeat all the demons, I’ve followed the sun through its cycles, followed ancient tribes who gathered their disciples, I’ve immersed myself in the jungles endless knowledge bases, but not a step closer to understanding the basics. . . For a moonlit vibe, who better than the night himself? It’s hard to comprehend how easily this animal would probably blend into the night. Hard to visualise how ethereal it may be to see him in nothing but the moonshine. As obscure as darkness, we’d be oblivious to his presence but for the occasional hints of luminous eyes and white canines. In search of the unknown, here’s a visual concept of what it could look like, however the real magic that resonates around it lies in the fact that we will never know. . . #shaazjung #nikon #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #earthpix #blackpanther

In search of psithurism, I found myself under the ancient trees of life, as silver raindrops danced and wild flowers reached for the sky. The air was rare that day, laden with secrets, and in that powerful silence, I found the Panther. . . I’m not one for numbers but we recently hit half a million and I want to thank all of you for being the backbone of this page. It’s been an incredible journey and I’ve met some incredibly talented people on this platform. Thank you for supporting me ?? . . #shaazjung #500k #nikon #natgeowild #nature #wildlife #blackpanther

An eerie glow of first light hangs between the trees, silhouettes of branches dance without their leaves, wicked is the wind that waltzes thick as thieves, frigid is the mist for in it something breathes. . . This image does absolutely no justice to what we had witnessed that morning. We drove out at first light and watched darkness lift to reveal nothing but ambiguous shapes in the thick mist. We parked ourselves under the old Banyan, where he was seen the day before. The silence was deafening and dawn was like the dead of night. No songbirds sang, no crickets hummed yet there was an eerie sensation of being watched. Spending years on the same track, tracking the same animals, strengthens your intuition and within minutes a ghostly figure slowly took shape on the road ahead. It drifted by us in absolute silence and was by far my most chilling experience with the black panther. . . View my story for the BTS video. At this point, the light was far better but the image above was shot in extremely low light. I’ve played around with it in post to revive some light but kept it dark to try and retain some of it’s original vibe. . . #shaazjung #nikonz7 #nikonasia #blackpanther #wildlife #nature #natgeo #nikon #kabini

Sundown, listen. Death of the songbirds rhythm, birth of the ghost-birds wisdom, flight of the nights first owl silhouetted as the skies turn crimson. Moonrise kingdom. In the silver-lit jungle where the grass blades glisten, some stay hidden. . . #shaazjung #nikonasia #natgeowild #earthpix #earthcapture #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #blackpanther #love
