Shooting Lions and Leopards

Okay dont worry, I am not actually out to destroy Gods creatures but going on shoot on Monday for a Pilsner commercial. It sounds like it will be fun! As a person privileged enough to have experienced lots of Africa's great beasts with my brother (see my photos at my site for more) this should be nothing new but there is always something exciting about being around the big five. For those that don't know the big five are so named from the hunting days. The big trophy animals - Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino and Elephant.

Its a day shoot and we are limited to three shots per animal which means a lot of rushing and arguing with producers. The camera needs to be set up correctly but we cant keep the Leopards waiting ;) They have their own union apparently.

I will tell you how it went next week.
