Lion whisperer with wild lions

• Prize
• Photographer
  Ramon Stalenhoef, Netherlands

I shot these pictures for Dutch Fashion brand Van Gils. Kevin
Richardson is wearing a Van Gils suit while playing football with
wild lions. Van Gils supports his Wildlife Sanctuary and donates 50
euros per suit to help and raise awareness for the critical situation
of wild lions. The lion is Holland's national symbol and also
symbol of the Royal Dutch soccer team, that is also dressed by
Van Gils.

I was not the official and professional photographer of this shoot,
As the advertising agency creative I just shot together with
photographer Jeroen Hofman and in the end we both delivered
images for the campaign. The images were used for campaign and
press material to spread the message of the wild lions that need
our help. Here's a case movie of the shoot:
