After spending considerable time with this Scottish Highlander, mutual trust increased. As the Scottish Highlander tilted its head, a fantastic moment between photographer and animal occurred. The Scottish Highlander looks into the lens with a tough and proud gaze. This is how I wanted to portrait this beautiful animal up close with my camera.
The Scottish Highlander is a much photographed animal. My photograph differs from others by using a 35mm fixed focal length lens instead of a commonly used telephoto lens. This makes you as a viewer more involved in the image and makes you feel as if you yourself are face to face with the Scottish Highlander.
