Photography, “Born a Lion, Tanzania” by Joachim Schmeisser, limited edition and available in three sizes.
THE LAST OF THEIR KIND
Joachim Schmeisser has been photographing Africa’s last giants up close for years, creating particularly intimate portraits of animal species that are threatened with extinction.
In his new series The Last Of Their Kind, he focuses on the beauty of creation and its fragile transience. These striking images are timeless works that can be interpreted on different levels: as representations of a distant past or as iconic reminders of a not-too-distant future in which we can only admire these majestic creatures in zoos.
They are both a tribute and a final warning – visual revelations that sharpen our dim view of nature in its infinite complexity and recognize what treasures we may be irretrievably losing.
