Photographed in the Ngorongoro Crater, this image shows a young male lion with his face still covered in the blood of a fresh kill. It is a moment that reveals the raw truth of life on the savanna, where survival is earned through instinct, strength and the ancient rhythm of predator and prey. The intensity in his eyes and the contrast of the black and white tones bring forward the primal roots of what it means to live wild and untamed.
