CHERYL KING EYE ON THE PRIZE

Eye on the Prize is based on a face to face experience last summer with a bobcat named Captain Jack. Photographing cats in the wild is nearly impossible without a vast amount of time or good luck with a trap camera, so this was taken at a wildlife facility. Cheryl prefers to take her own reference photos and observe wildlife up close and personal in order to capture their personality, movement and manner. She believes fiercely in protections for our wild brethren and donates a portion of her profits to animal conservancies.
