These are animals I’ve photographed along the way—each one a reminder of how alive and diverse the world really is. From lemurs and lizards in Madagascar to fish gliding through clear water in Japan, spiders and peacocks in Australia, and even the everyday pigeons wandering the streets of London and Tokyo, every encounter had its own character. Whether it was a crab hiding in tide pools or a bird perched in morning light, these moments taught me patience and presence—the same qualities that make great photography and meaningful adventure.
