Nature Photography

A photographer makes it looks as if animals have posed for portraits in a studio. Niki Colemont shoots creatures in the wild and in zoos, then applies some photo magic to give them a brooding image. The 34-year-old from Belgium says this style of portrait gives the subjects a 'cool look'. He explains: "all these pictures have been edited in lightroom. I have put a vignette around the subject and with the adjustment brush darkened some areas around the animal face, with these edits the pictures have a studio portrait look"
