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.
