The Look of Innocence

I had spent many weeks in South Luangwa National Park, trying to track down this elusive pack of African wild dogs. I wanted to capture a shot that portrayed the innocence and inquisitiveness of these wonderful creatures. Eventually my perseverance was rewarded when I found them at the end of the dry season. As the pack started to move off, I positioned myself in front of them and deployed a remote wide-angle camera in their path. As they approached, the curiosity of the youngsters was aroused and they approached to investigate the clicking camera, ears focused in on it like satellite dishes. It wasn’t long before they lost interest and continued on their way, and I was left with the shot I had dreamt of.
