When I saw the results of photographing this lion back in June I knew I had to photograph him again — he is the best looking lion I have ever seen, and full of attitude.
I knew immediately that I would title this particular image ‘Aslan’ after C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia series. The personality and soul in his face reminded me instantly of Lewis’s Aslan, the only character to appear in all seven of the books in the series.
I hope the photograph resonates as strongly with people as the earlier release, Blue Steel, did back in June.
