Photographer Brad Wilson gets close to his models. Very close. Unsurprisingly, his new project is called Proximity. This is a series of photos of wild animals taken at the closest possible distance. Wilson photographs animals on a black background. The result is excellent pictures of a wide variety of animals, in the "faces" of which you can see expressive features that make us look again and again.

These animals are used to humans, and Wilson knows they won't attack him. That's why he can photograph them from as close a distance as possible. Pictured: Cheetah.
