About the Item

Composing non-living objects is completely different- especially when it comes to birds. I know it can maybe seem macabre at first, but I love photographing both living and non-living creatures because viewers can have a different relationship with the image and the animals. Obviously, there’s a lot more control available when composing with an animal that has died, but there are challenges in both ways. I never want to be disrespectful in representing an animal, but nor do I want it to look like something it isn’t. We (viewers) bring a lot of baggage to viewing images, especially those relating to death, so it’s delicate territory. As far as composing live animals, the hardest part is getting them to be still, so there’s way less control, and I’m still trying to be vigilant that I make images that can separate themselves from “straight” nature photography images of animals. With birds that can be tricky.
