170 photographs, the best of Steve Winter’s award-winning images of the world’s charismatic felines, jump off the pages of this powerful large-format book.
National Geographic photographer Steve Winter has spent his career photographing big cats around the world, from the fierce jaguars of Brazil’s Pantanal to the elusive Himalayan snow leopard. His photographs astound; his stories, even more so. In Big Cats, Winter and wildlife journalist Sharon Guynup share experiences behind the lens.
In chapters on every key species—cougar, jaguar, leopard, snow leopard, tiger, and lion—readers will witness the power of Winter’s work, including uplifting stories of how his photographs have made a difference and powered important conservation efforts on behalf of these mighty creatures, including:
The famous photo of P-22, the cougar in front of the Hollywood sign, which inspired a wildlife crossing spanning 10 lanes of two L.A. highways
Photos of tiger abuse and trafficking behind a tourist trap in a Thai temple, which led the government to shut down the business
Photos of American lion and tiger amusement venues, dangerous to visitors and inhumane to the cats involved, which prompted exposés including the Tiger King documentary and led to a U.S. law banning big cats as pets
Winter and Guynup’s work has changed the world—and it continues to awe and inspire us. But you don’t have to be a serious-minded conservationist to be pulled into their new book. All animal lovers—especially those who love cats, big and small—are invited to look deeply into the eyes and lives of these iconic species, chronicled in this beautiful keepsake book.
Steve Winter has won numerous international awards, including BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and BBC Wildlife Photojournalist of the Year. He lectures internationally on photography and conservation issues and has been interviewed on CBS Nightly News, 60 Minutes, NPR, BBC, and CNN. He contributes regularly to National Geographic magazine, for which he can spend months working on a single story. He’s camped for weeks in steamy jungles, vast grasslands, and at 15,000 feet in the Himalayas to capture cats’ stunning beauty and secret behaviors. He lives in Hoboken, NJ. Sharon Guynup is an award-winning journalist and producer covering wildlife, ecosystems, and the threats they face. Her work has appeared in National Geographic, the New York Times, Scientific American, Smithsonian, and elsewhere. She was named a 2024 Changemaker by New York University and created and launched The State of the Wild book series for the Wildlife Conservation Society. She lives in Hoboken, NJ.
