Lions, leopards, lynxes — the family resemblance is not the fur but the gaze: a level, unhurried appraisal that has never once included an apology. Photograph a mountain and you get scenery. Photograph a leopard looking at you and you get a relationship, briefly, on its terms.
The portraits here were shot long-lensed and patient, mostly at rest — a cheetah surveying, a snow leopard mid-turn, a tiger doing nothing at all with total commitment.
On a lock screen, that gaze has a curious side effect: unlocking your phone starts to feel slightly supervised. Some users report improved focus. We make no medical claims.
