This series of spectacular sepia shots gives a stunning insight into the lives of the big cats at a Macedonian zoo - where a dedicated photographer spent 10 years recording their behaviour.

Photographer Goran Anastasovski devoted a decade of his life to taking snapshots of the lions, tigers and leopards when at their most unguarded and intimate.

The 46-year-old, from Macedonia, hoped to emphasise the animals' human qualities in the photographs, taken at Skopje Zoo in Gradski Park, Macedonia.
