We set about building a structure in a black panther’s 4-acre sanctuary in Dinokeng, South Africa and brought in a heavy-duty cage for me to work from and then it was simply an exercise in patience as well as the unique talents of Kevin Richardson - The Lion Whisperer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur 12-year friendship has forged exceptional trust and we both know how to get the best out of each other. There is no way we could have taken this image a few years back - we have learned and iterated. Panthers are dangerous and safety and creativity had to find a balance. At all times I was working from the cage. The key to me in this one off portrait is the position of the pupils in the panther’s eyes. They equate to less than 1\/400\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e of the total photograph but they elicit a proper sense of menace. A bit lower down in the eye and his menace is lost. It is about the smallest of details and today’s cameras, in low light, are high performing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eenablers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI think the cinematic format is perfect for this photograph. After all, the term Black Panther elicits heavy Hollywood vibes. It is an animal that has created many metaphors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n- DAVID YARROW\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow Wild Life","offers":[{"title":"236cm x 130cm \/ Photography","offer_id":51101274210561,"sku":null,"price":1700000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"172cm x 289cm \/ Photography","offer_id":51101274243329,"sku":null,"price":1500000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/1676\/5953\/files\/1_880c422c-26e2-4347-8581-d53d5b7af415.jpg?v=1794180018","url":"https:\/\/shopmavero.shop\/products\/the-black-panther-2025","provider":"Fairmont Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
