Sheer Concentration, by Kurien Koshy Yohannan

I love photographing big cats and when I got a chance to get ‘up close and personal’ with this beautiful cat, I pounced at the opportunity. I captured this image just as something caught the attention of the tiger. The fixed gaze and sheer concentration in its eyes says it all – this cat means business.

Photographer: Kurien Koshy Yohannan (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Photography started off as a hobby for Kurien Koshy Yohannan but now it plays a major role in his life – so much so that he plans to slowly start making a living from it. Koshy believes there is so much beauty around us that can be captured; nature is full of beauty waiting for us to capture it, if we have the eye and receptiveness for it. Koshy intends to capture this beauty through his camera lens for all to enjoy and behold. Through his photography he would like people to appreciate the world we live in – the animal and plant life that coexist with us as well as the people and cultures that surround us – and hopes that it may provide a renewed enthusiasm for people to safeguard the beautiful planet that we call Home.
