About the Item

Affinity by Brad Wilson is a series of exquisitely detailed close-up color portraits of captive birds, reptiles, and mammals in a studio environment. Employing a stark black backdrop, these dramatic photographs illuminate subtle idiosyncrasies in each subject as they confront Wilson’s camera. The result is remarkably captivating as Wilson utilizes a refined technique and rapport typically reserved for human sitters. “I just wanted to give the viewer this experience with the animal and what they do with that experience is up to them. That's why the black background, that's why no distractions. It's just you and the animal and you can kind of inhabit the space with the animal … You're seeing the animal in a way that you could never see it in the wild or in a zoo. You're never going to get that close, never going to get it to hold that still.” – Brad Wilson
