These images were taken in an undisclosed wildlife sanctuary in South Africa by Ā British director and photographer Simon Needham (55).

Simon used a Canon R5 to click these images from five-ten feet away.

ā€œThis specific tiger is a rescued tiger, not much is known about the history of him but he is well looked after now,ā€ he says.

ā€œIt took me four hours to click these pictures as we had to wait for the tiger to reveal itself from the bushes.

ā€œAnytime I get the opportunity to get this close to a stunning big cat like this its a privilege and it always feels fantastic to be in its presence.ā€
