The Tiger Suit project features the daring work of photographer Adam Rabinowitz. Rabinowitz has captured random people within a one-piece tiger costume, all of whom have been featured in the series while walking about the streets of Europe and Israel.
While a request to be photographed by a stranger in full-scale lion apparel may be off-putting for some, Rabinowitz has been fortunate enough to garner the support and participation of many pedestrians. The backdrops are always different, sometimes set amid tropical trees and at other times, faux wire cages.
The Tiger Suit is showcased on Rabinowitz's Tumblr page. There, viewers can take in his portfolio and some of its more humorous elements. No matter one's interest in photography, the comedic elements are appealing for all.
