Sublime magazine subscription holders can this month read a feature on renowned photographer Britta Jaschinski.
The German was highly commended in the recent Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award contest for her "heart-wrenching" image of an ageing lion.
She has made it her life goal to highlight the suffering of animals in captivity throughout the world with her main weapon being her camera.
Jaschinski is described as an "exceptional kind of artist" due to the way she portrays emotion through her shots, often waiting for days to get the perfect photograph.
The talented snapper told Sublime that she disliked zoos from a young age and always felt uncomfortable seeing animals locked up.
"While other kids licked ice creams and laughed at the animals, I just felt an intense pain in mind and body," she said.
Those strong feelings have lead to her having a number of books published, including Zoo, Wild Things and the forthcoming Dark.
The magazine also recently interviewed artist Thomas Saraceno, who draws inspiration from overcrowding, climate change and technological innovation.
