Zoos work to preserve nature, protecting animals from the encroaching human presence in their native environments.
Ivanovic\'s carefully crafted images restore the majesty of these creatures, revealing that there is still a wild spirit in these animals\' hearts - whether in the wild or out..
They emerge from the darkness or swoop gracefully toward the lens.

His photographs pull viewers past protective boundaries, reinstating a sensation of awe and even fear.
Photographer Boza Ivanovic, however, artfully transforms this dynamic in his latest book, \'Out of the Wild: Zoo Portraits\'.
