Bengal Tiger in Water

This Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) rests low in dark water, looking straight into the camera. I photographed it at Singapore Zoo, a setting that supports tiger conservation and breeding programs as wild populations continue to decline. This original photograph is available in a variety of formats, from wall art to gifts.

Bright orange and white stripes glow against water gone nearly black, broken only by a still reflection below. Each tiger's stripe pattern is unique, like a fingerprint, and this one's gaze holds steady, direct, and unblinking straight at the lens.

Bengal Tiger Photography Print

Big cat portraits this close are rare for a reason. Original Bengal Tiger photograph from Singapore Zoo, resting low in dark water with direct eye contact. Perfect for studies, reading nooks, and dramatic gallery walls.

I photographed this tiger at the Singapore Zoo, resting low in a dark pool with that steady, unbothered stare that only a tiger can pull off. This was not a wild tiger in the forest, and that is worth saying directly. There is real tension in a portrait like this. Wild strength, contained space, and an animal most of us will only ever see through glass.

Order this fine art photography print on archival paper for a soft, classic presentation, or as a metal photo print on dye-sublimated aluminum for sleek dramatic contrast and luminous detail in the dark water. Sizes range from 4x6 desk accents up to 24x30 statement walls. Each print is made to order in my Henniker, New Hampshire studio.

Bengal Tiger Photography Note Card

$5.95

Calm, powerful, and absolutely not interested in anyone's nonsense. This Bengal tiger portrait from Singapore Zoo is the kind of dramatic big cat card that makes people stop and actually look at what you sent them.

The Bengal tiger is the largest cat species in the world. I photographed this one at the Singapore Zoo, resting low in a dark pool with that steady, unbothered stare only a tiger can pull off. The glowing orange coat, deep black water, and direct eye contact made the whole scene feel powerful, quiet, and impossible to walk away from.

This was not a wild tiger in the forest, and I think that honesty matters. There is something deeply moving about seeing an animal built for wild places resting in a managed space.

Malayan Tiger Singapore Mouse Pad

$14.95

You'd need a zoo ticket and a lot of luck to get this close to a tiger's face. This mouse pad skips both and gives you the stare anyway.

The Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni) is one of the world's most endangered big cats, and I photographed this one resting in the water at the Singapore Zoo, his face just above the surface. Warm orange fur, bold black stripes, and pale watchful eyes give the portrait real presence.

Water beads catch the light differently than a printed background ever could, and this one is captured at 9.25 by 7.75 inches with a smooth polyester top and quarter inch rubber base. It fits a laptop desk or small office corner without taking over the whole surface.
