From the tiger, known for its solitary power and striped camouflage, to the leopard, capable of dragging prey three times heavier than their body weight into trees, big cats are an utter joy to observe and learn about. It’s unsurprising that they’ve become some of the most magnetic subjects in wildlife photography and cinematography.
Here are three visual wildlife storytellers who have produced remarkable work spotlighting big cats:
Steve Winter
Steve Winter is recognised for pioneering the use of remote camera traps to photograph elusive big cats in the wild, among them tigers, jaguars and snow leopards. Working with National Geographic, he has helped redefine how unseen predators are visually documented.
