"For me, there's nothing more exciting than photographing a lion that has never been photographed before!"

A majestic lion sits by a waterhole at night, its reflection visible in the still water. The scene is calm and powerful, against a dark, empty background.

"For me, there's nothing more exciting than photographing a lion that has never been photographed before," explains wildlife photographer Will Burrard-Lucas.

"I believe that a photo taken in an unfamiliar setting, even if it's of a commonly-photographed species, has a context that sets it apart from other pictures. And that is exactly the point for me. I have little interest in taking photos that aren't somehow different," he explains.
