Tiger tiger, burning bright

Andy Rouse’s new photo book offers an amazing insight into how tigers live

Featuring over 200 stunning photos, the new book by award-winning wildlife photographer Andy Rouse is a must for any tiger lovers. Noor: Queen of Ranthambhore

is co-written with Aditya ‘Dicky’ Singh and covers four years in the life of the eponymous tigress. It’s a large-format book packed with a selection of colour, monochrome and infra-red pictures of Noor captured in the Ranthambhore National Park in the Rajasthan region of north-west India between 2012 and 2018.

“Noor is the ultimate tigress – an incredibly ruthless killing machine one minute, and a tender mother the next,” write Andy and

Dicky in the book’s introduction.

Presented as a chronological collection of stories covering

Noor’s life, there are tender portraits of her as a mother that contrast sharply with dramatic images of her hunting and surviving in the wilds.
