Parallel Lines
Maasai Mara Kenya 2011
An edition of 75 in all sizes
Zebra offer much for the photographer in the way of aesthetically pleasing lines and shapes but they can at be difficult to photograph at the same time. They are herd animals, so isolating one or two of them can be tricky. And should you succeed in that, you'll find they are skittish so they don't like to hang around for too long. The answer, as is anything in photography, is patience in waiting. Once they are good with your quiet presence they'll happily oblige.
Zebra rest their head upon each other for safety, and arguably also so that their opposite's tails can swish flies from the their faces. Pairing is frequently seen on safari but on this occasion something far off caught their attention (a warthog?) and in so injected a little extra dimension into the picture.
