My zookeeping allows sharing intimate moments with many creatures and underlines how similar all species are emotionally with family and offspring.

Carol Lyon, a self taught photographer, has been a fashion model, live theatre owner, teacher, and zookeeper. Carol began her photographic career ten years ago when she evolved from a senior zookeeper to the zoo’s staff photographer. Her naturalistic animal and pet photography has spilled over into fine art photography. Carol has always had a knack for pulling the simple from the complex, and nothing on earth gives her more pleasure than the privilege of being let in to a creature’s inner circle. It is this clarity and delight that she distills into her photography.
