We were heading back to Luangwa River Lodge, when our spotlight found several hunting lions walking along the side of the road. This lioness passed within a few yards of my camera. As she moved away from me, I made this softly impressionistic image of a predator on the hunt. I watched her fade into the night, as the bushes around her seem to tremble in the light. The very nature of night safari photography forces us to abstract our images in blur and darkness, eliminating most descriptive aspects of the subject and leaving room for the imagination to work on it.
