Some of the shots show pairs of animals together in affectionate poses, while others feature the big cats snarling and staring at the camera.

Anastasovski admitted that, despite the bond he feels with the cats, they would waste no time in having him for dinner.

'I visit them very often and I think that they know me very well,' he said..

'The interesting thing is that after all these years they still try to eat me after they see the lens.'

Danger: Even after 10 years of interacting with the animals, Anastasovski is under no illusions that the animals would be gentle with him

Watching: The photographer laughed that despite all his time with the animals, they still try to eat him the moment they spot the lens

Intense: The series captures the animal's faces in enchanting detail, with the photographer hoping to emphasise their human qualities
