Full Leather Jacket

Digital Fine Art Photograph

Taken in Namibia back in 2016, this incredible creature stood for a few moments by a watering hole perfectly side on to where I was situated. The low afternoon light picks out every detail of his massive frame and armour like skin. To witness these animals in the wild is an absolute privilege and it is what taking photographs is all about, capturing rare moments in time.
To create this image I removed the scenery behind the rhino and stood him in front of a textured background that tones. My aim was to make the rhino the photograph’s sole focus by creating an almost studio like backdrop that didn’t detract from the “Full Leather Jacket” himself.
