Brad Wilson Puts Animals in the Studio and Captures Stunning Portraits

While it’s always fascinating to see wild animals captured in their natural environment, just as compelling is to see the likes of crocodiles, apes and big cats captured against the black back of a studio. Photographer Brad Wilson has placed some of these most spectacular beasts in an almost humanlike setting and called the series “Affinity.” He was fascinated by the animals’ curiosity, he says, and their ability to live, as we once did, “through instinct and intuition.”
