Mammals, Birds, Snakes Photography
Lebanon & United Arab Emirates 2024 - By Bachar Bouka
What a crazy year—it started in Lebanon and then moved to the United Arab Emirates in August.
In Lebanon although the main focus was reptiles, in just a year, I was not only able to photograph 70% of Lebanon's snake species, but I also had exceptional moments documenting Common Kestrel Family, rare encounter with the Stone Marten during the day, very close encounters with the Rock Hyrax, Special rare moments with the Least Weasel.
In the United Arab Emirates, I was able to get incredibly close-up and fantastic motion shots. In just a few months, I photographed more than 100 species. You can check the collection here.
Photos in this selection are chosen not only because they depict beautiful images that showcase the beauty of nature as I see it, but also the element of rarity, uniqueness, mutation, and special moments.
