TITLE: Jaguar

Beauty and power define the jaguar, the largest of all the great cats in America. In life, dark open spots on a golden fur canvas make the jaguar a luxurious specimen to observe. In black and white, the contrast comes alive with the fine detail of each hair emulating the stokes of an artist’s brush. Its muscular tone creating pockets of shadow. This image depicts the jaguar (captured in natural sunlight) as both a beauty and a beast.
