The powder is used at Holi - a Hindu spring festival also known as the 'festival of colour' - which involves people throwing powder at each other as they celebrate the victory of good over evil.
The animal photographer said: 'I love capturing animals in action.
'I love the challenge of freezing a moment in time and have it be crisp and dynamic.
