The apparent social structures of the birds force the viewer’s mind to project its own opinion of what drama might be unfolding. My work blends reality and fiction, it is not a clear account of events but rather a story that you might recount to a friend: full of emotion, exaggerations, and embellishments and all the more beautiful for it. Each image is meticulously constructed using multiple elements that are individually photographed and carefully composed. This approach allows me to capture scenes and compositions that would otherwise be impossible to achieve in a single photograph.
