Entry Description

Kevin Richardson (the lion whisperer) plays football with wild lions. I shot this picture at a shoot for Van Gils Fashion: Official sponsor of the Royal Dutch Soccer Association and supporter of wild lions. (The lion is the Dutch national symbol and also symbol of the KNVB, The Royal Dutch Soccer Association.) Van Gils supports the wild lions (The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary) with 50 euros for every suit that is sold. I shot this picture, not as the official photograher of the shoot, but as the agency creative. As a non professional photographer. The shot became the main image of the campaign.
