Cleo Goossens is a photographer
based in Eindhoven in the Netherlands -- and, so we've gathered, a

in black and white, others in color, some from far away, some
startlingly close, capture wolves with an intimacy not often found in
nature or wildlife photography. One image presents its subject as the
lone wolf in the wild while another depicts a cuddly creature hungry for
contact and love. The short but striking series shows the dynamic range
of personas that wolves embody, and their surprising capacity to
interact with humans...Read here, photos...
