Over 15 Years, One Photographer Makes the Most Astonishing Portraits of Africa’s Wild Animals – Feature Shoot

Nearly one decade ago, an adolescent zebra frolicked amongst the 8 thousand square kilometers that make up the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania’s Crater Highlands. Staying close to the grown zebras, the energetic youngster moved wildly about, until at the very moment French photographer Laurent Baheux approached, he took the air, leaping clear over his mother’s back. The photographer tripped in the process of capturing the moment, which according to his driver Morris, was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of scenario.

Titillating Portraits of Female Burlesque Performers Of a Certain Age – Feature Shoot

It’s no secret there’s a consistent lapse in recognizing the sexuality of people who have become known as “women of a certain age,” especially in the entertainment industry. French-born, Los Angeles-based photographer Marie Baronnet slaps that idea in the face, however, with her series Legends. For Legends, Baronnet photographed former burlesque performers, who are all between 65 and 90 years of age, in their homes, sometimes in their original costumes. The women who performed under names like Lottie the Body, Viva La Fever, and Bambi Jones are equal parts inviting and vulnerable in Baronnet’s images, much as they must have been onstage as performers. Through Baronnet’s images they are in the spotlight again, hair flying in the wind, sparkling beads hanging from their hips, lips and eyes painted into smouldering darkness.
