Low-key lighting envelops the powerful black panther in mystery, as it stealthily navigates the jungle underbrush. Captured on a Hasselblad X1D II with an 80mm lens at f/2.8, the scene uses chiaroscuro to juxtapose the sleek, dark fur against points of dappled sunlight. The panther’s eyes glint, sharply in focus, while the shadows fade into a soft-focus background, playing with textures and form in this monochromatic masterpiece.
