When your photo assistant is a lion cub…!
Lovely and amazing picture..!😍❣️
This is the luckiest man on earth. Oh, how I would love to be in his shoes.
Great picture! Hopefully Mom & Dad weren’t close by?
A wildlife photographer in Africa is melting hearts online after sharing a photo of the adorable photo assistant he brought along on a recent outdoor adventure.
Djamel Hadj Aissa is an independent photojournalist and passionate wildlife photographer based in “Ghardaïa, Algeria”. He has thousands of followers on his Instagram account, where he shares beautiful images he has shot of wild animals ranging from snakes to birds to primates.
In February, Djamel saw one of his posts go viral, but it wasn’t a photo of an animal in the wild. Instead, it was a photo of himself next to the unusual companion he brought on the shoot: a lion cub.
Djamel is a member of a prominent family in Algeria that started the first private zoo in the North African country, and that the family currently owns six zoos in six different cities.
The lion cub he brought on his trip was one that had been born in his own backyard.
This is the best photo I have seen in a long time!
The photographer first became interested in photography as a teenager at age 15 when he was gifted a camera by his father’s pro photographer friend. Djamel then worked for decades as a press photographer before getting into wildlife photography in the mid-2010s and turning his attention to personal passion projects.
He’s now aiming to grow his career as a photographer, perhaps as a foreign correspondent for an international agency or media outlet, in order to fund his continuing love for wildlife photography.
To all those [mu.rdering] animals, this is what we want to see!!
Now that’s the type of assistant I would like ❤️❤️
Awesome and Beautiful Lion Picz!!!
Thank You Very Much!! Florida Joy 😎❤️🙏
