Lion Surprises Photographer With Scary Roar, Then Winks And Smiles At Him

The photo shoot happened last month in Maasai Mara, Kenya. I was really happy with the photos, I only looked at them properly when I got home. I regularly go on these safaris and really enjoy photographing wildlife. They have grown up around the safari so they're used to cars and tourists. The King of the Jungle is always something you've got to capture and I'm so pleased I got the shot, Sowerby added. The photographer has spent the last 37+ years taking pictures of wildlife, landscapes, portraits, as well as live music. Though he started out with a 35mm film camera, he switched over to digital photography back in 2003.
