A New Beginning

Title: A New Beginning

Photographer: Alissa Thakker

Location: Maasai Mara, Kenya

Behind the lens:  Seeing an adult lioness carrying her cubs in her mouth has always been a dream sighting for me. A lot of elements make this picture stand out to me; the dust, the vigor in the lionesses eyes, the innocence and trusting nature of the cub. The cubs of this pride were at the top of a cliff, and two female lionesses were at the bottom. As the lioness was coming down the cliff with this cub in her mouth there was a beautiful show of dust. A magical moment that I’ll never forget.
