Beauty of the Wild
Susan Onysko
When I started in the diverse world of travel photography I fell in love with photographing people. I was drawn to capturing the expression of emotion and the connections that we have to those around us and the world at large.
When I expanded to photographing wildlife, my approach was surprisingly similar. While others would be hunting for the shot of lionesses with a kill, I would wait patiently for an act of tenderness between the lionesses. When others would wait for the intense action of two male polar bears sparring, I would wait for the in-between moments of what looked like hugs and kisses. Most of all what I connected with was the motherly acts that I saw - tender moments, shared looks of wonderment, worry and the unconditional love that all mothers know. It is the beauty of these moments that I explore with this exhibit: The Beauty of the Wild.
