A jaguar child expresses his own strength with all his might.Its overwhelming pressure is so great that it is hard to believe it is a child. While keeping the action lively and controlled, I left the color so that the eyes, which still have a somewhat innocent look to them, can express emotion. I developed the image in such a way as not to kill the sense of dynamism and texture, while clearly depicting each and every hairline. Please enjoy.

Yushi Kaisyakuji is a Japan-based photographer whose work centers on black-and-white portraits of wildlife, seeking to reveal the emotional architecture that lives beneath the surface of each creature. Rather than documenting appearances, he strives to capture the inner pulse—the quiet dignity, tension, and resilience—that defines a living being. His approach follows the tradition of photographers who believed that the camera can carve out the soul of its subject, not merely its outline.
