“الوحوش”.. تتموضع للكاميرا

اعداد: خلود العبدالله

تجربة غريبة من نوعها خاضها واحد من أهم مصوري المشاهير في العالم. فقد قرر مصور المشاهير البريطاني رالف بيرو Ralph Perou، الذي عمل مع كثير من المشاهير مثل مارلين مانسون وكولدبلاي وجاي زد وامينيم وآخرين غيرهم، أن ينفذ مشروعا لتصوير القطط الكبيرة.

this is #keene a handsome characterful #cheetah that i photographed @thebigcatsanctuaryuk and who features in our #bigcats show at #londonbridgestation #stainerstreettunnel Apparently yesterday there were so many people at the show that the station had to position someone there to oversee the crowd. SO thrilled people are seeing the pictures in person and hopefully reading about the cats who are ambassadors for their endangered wild cousins. Thankyou @networkrail and @se_railway for having us. The cheetahs i photographed were the only big cats that I wasn’t separated from by a thin, mesh-weld fence: they are less aggressive than some of the other big cats like tigers and lions. And this is one of their problems in the world: dumb humans can keep them as pets with less fear of being (rightly) mutilated. Cheetahs are amazing: the fastest land animals in the world. We photographed the cheetahs against a makeshift green-screen in their den (made of green A4 paper sheets stuck together (high tech, me) and Gary @dippinsauce retouched them to match the others whose dens we’d painted grey. i’m allergic to domestic cats but particularly allergic to cheetahs (go figure I’d be more allergic to a bigger cat), so i was sneezing constantly and after a few minutes, I was finding it difficult to breathe while shooting this (despite taking anti-allergy piriton and using a ventolin inhaler). i used @broncolor lights in our big cat studio. my favourite printers @pressonuk #printedatpresson them BIG #savetigers #savelions #savecheetahs #saveleopards #savejaguars #wildlife #wildlifeonearth #wildlifephotography #wildlifeofinstagram @dstecheetah #bigcatsofinstagram @natgeo @wild.planet @wildlife.on.earth @world_wildlife My agent @jsragency is the fastest agent in the world

جلسة التصوير اعدت لغرض التوعية بضعف وقابلية اصابة السنوريات وتعرضها للأذى، واستخدم المصور استديو خاصا داخل حاوية وشرع في تصوير السنوريات بمختلف الوضعيات تماما كما يفعل مع المشاهير.

يعتزم المصور طباعة الصور وبيعها في مزاد يعود ريعه لضمان بقاء هذه الحيوانات في الحياة البرية. وظهر نيس ونارينا ومانزي ومايا وباجرامي وكين واكسيزي في لقطات مذهلة.
