White Swan

  • Photographer
    Francesco Lepre

While cycling through the may bike paths around Lake Ontario, I spotted a lone swan feeding in a small pond away from the main bay. I made my way down through some bushes down to the pond. The swan slowly wam around the pond and eventually came closer to where I was situated. It gently lifted its head out of the water and rewarded me with this regal pose. Luckily I had my camera.

I’m a freelance art director with a passion for photography. It began with the treasured family pictures my parents brought from Italy when we immigrated to Canada These snapshots of family and places from the past triggered strong emotions which no doubt had a great influence on me as a photographer. I enjoy working in both digital and analog formats. While digital photography offers limitless creative possibilities, there’s something about the tactile process of analog that transports me back to the excitement of developing my first photo in the high school darkroom.
