These 20 photos I make to show people what kind of treasure we have in animals and that we should preserve those treasures we have and not destroy and kill them.
I am Goran Anastasovski, or king of the camera, called by London Daily Mail. I spent 13 years capturing incredible portraits of animals. I have been actively engaged in photography since 2006, mainly focused on nature and the wild animal world. My images show leopards, lions, tigers, giraffes in surprisingly relaxed poses, with many of them sharing intimate moments with their companions. With my photographic mastery, I managed to place my name on many media worldwide.

I’m happy to not have faced creative blocks much in my photography - I have no problem coming up with new ideas. The idea usually comes as I stop in front of the animal I am photographing. So far I have not photographed a cheetah, and I think it would be great if I manage to make it. For me, the cheetah is one of the most graceful animals. Also, the fastest on the planet.
I think that if they were fighting, they wouldn’t be standing side-by-side like that. Granted I know little about giraffes other than they have only seven vertebrae like other mammals.

These photos are a reminder,if we need one, the stunning beauty of animals we have, and must save !!!
I think they are having intimate conversation - "You do know I'm taller than you -Right!"
Usually, it is normal to wait a long time for a great photo to be taken, but in my case, it is not. I took the best photos very quickly with a wait of no more than one hour, which means that sometimes luck has a big part. In the moment, that is the most important for a great photo.
When photographing animals, there are no special preparations, because we are not working on static objects for which you can make a strategy. Of course, there are some tricks I've learned over time, such as when I start yawning at animals for a while, they start yawning too. It may sound unrealistic, but it really works.
There are many photographers whose work is great, but I see that I am not inspired by other photographs. I think that only diversity and uniqueness is the real path to success. My plan for the future is to continue with the same passion and love for this work, and I hope that many more beautiful photos will come out of my eye.
I've never seen one with a third horn - is that unusual? (I know, technically not a horn, but you know what I mean...)
Animals ARE beautiful, and you showed that amazingly! Well done!! <3
YOU say, couldn't live without them, most of us feel that way, however, with deforestation in part, some animals are near extinction, many zoos are breeding such animals, but not all can be returned to the wild, perhaps some animals we will only be able to see in a zoo, so sad, as the population grows, we take some of the animals natural habitat !!!

Goran, you think as I do, nature is my love, I just love the wild animals, you did a fabulous job, thanks for sharing, if you have more in the future, share again !!!
Goran - these shots are unbelievable a lot of animal photos look almost posed (I suppose waiting for the "right" moment). You have got the eye of an artist - these beautiful critters look natural and undisturbed by the camera. I guess it must be wonderful to be so talented and so one with the animals! Congratulations and Thank you!
The photos are indeed beautiful - but the choice of a uniform black background leaves me cold. To me, it makes them 'artsy', as if they are processed to be turned into fancy postcards, or like something for the species' tombstone. Are they all showing captive animals, from zoos? There are many accomplished wildlife photographers who show their subjects in their natural habitat. No living being exists in isolation, we are all part of, and dependent upon, the environment that surrounds us.
Gorgeous pictures. And I usually enjoy reading the comments, but when one person insists on saying something about each and every picture it gets very annoying and spoils the experience. Sigh..... It's still beautiful pics of amazing creatures. Thank you for sharing them.
Why is it so bad that they commented on all the pictures?
