Photographer David Boni captured a variety of animals in a much more intimate and personal way than they are normally seen. Fascinated by animal portraits, Boni wanted to showcase the creatures in their natural habitat and more importantly, with their personalities shining through.
The obvious challenge here would have been getting each of the animals to stand still in order to take photographs. However, David Boni pulled through and the results are spectacular.
Boni did a great job of capturing the animals in photos that allow them to demonstrate their unique personalities. For instance, who knew that a zebra could look so shy?
Next time you're at the zoo, remember these David Boni photographs and smile at the animals you're looking at -- except for the duck; he doesn't look too friendly.
