Anyone photographing animals should pay particular attention to the eyes of their counterpart. They play a special role because they often reflect the animal's state of mind. From alertness to familiarity, disinterest or panic. They are an important parameter for the direction and message of the photographic work, but also the expected reaction of the animal partner. Animals are always good for surprises and require patience, but also speed in order to react to the irretrievable photographic moment.
