Killer Eyes

After several hours tracking this leopard in Maasi Mara, as dusk neared, we found it, guarding a kill. Then, it looked up, those piercing blue eyes locking with mine. I pressed the shutter, capturing its intense gaze – a moment of raw wildness.

About Artist

Hiresha Senanayake

Hello! I'm Hiresha Senanayake, a wildlife photographer with a deep passion for capturing the untamed beauty of the natural world. My journey behind the lens began with a profound fascination for the intricate lives of animals and their habitats. Through my work, I strive to not only showcase the raw power and delicate grace of wildlife but also to evoke a sense of connection and appreciation for the planet's incredible biodiversity. I believe that photography has the power to inspire conservation, and I hope my images encourage viewers to cherish and protect these precious creatures and the wild spaces they call home. I'm thrilled to share my work with all of you.
