About the Duck: "Iridian is a living masterpiece. His extraordinary colors—unique among all ducks—symbolize a centuries-old tale of love and fidelity. Originating in East Asia, mandarin ducks are revered for their strong pair bonds and represent a lifetime of devotion. Photographing him was an exercise in simplicity and precision. I used a single light source to the right of the camera to highlight his shape and magnificent color display." - Randal Ford
About the artist: Few photographers in the world have photographed as many animals in studio as Randal Ford. At the heart of every image lies a deep respect for the majesty of wildlife and a resounding recognition of their powerful presence. Ford’s precise process of creating simple yet powerful portraits is highly technical and requires unwavering patience, dedication, and attention to detail. The result is a timeless collection of compelling animal portraits that provide an intimate window into the soul of each animal.
In the light of the studio, every animal stands on its own—heroic, mysterious, even charismatic—and while every portrait allows us to see the personality of each animal, Ford believes that we also experience a rare glimpse into the most mystical and elusive breed of all— ourselves.
Randal Ford’s works have been showcased in two visual monographs published by Rizzoli New York, as well as the cover of Time Magazine, 20 Texas Monthly covers, USA Today, and the cover of Communication Arts. He has received numerous awards and accolades across multiple industries. Randal Ford’s large format, limited edition works reproduce at scale with stunning detail, incredible depth, and a level of sharpness rarely seen in other animal photographs.

Randal Ford
Photographer Randal Ford has elevated his art to soaring heights by applying a minimalist approach to enhance the sophistication of an image. By focusing on the details of his animal subjects, the American artist produces striking images that highlight their characteristic features.
Ford is most famous for his photographs of animals in the studio. They are situated under lights and set against a backdrop so Ford can produce a stunning contrast that could not be captured with a candid shot. He also plays with concepts of color contrasts, such as placing a black rooster against a solid black background or a black and white bull set against a soft gray. He selects each background so that the animal is the sole focal point of an image, allowing for no distractions.
Though he favors animals as subjects, Ford’s photography also involves portraits of people. He has an almost mystical talent for portraying the humanity of his subjects, highlighting the qualities of a person that extend beyond the readily viewable content of a photograph.
He supports a number of organizations dedicated to the well-being and conservation of animals, both wild and domestic. He contributes his time and talent to organizations such as Project Survival’s Cat Haven, which concentrates on preserving wild cats through education and relocation efforts. The proceeds from his book Good Dog benefit Emancipet, an organization committed to making veterinary care accessible and affordable to everyone with a pet.
Ford continues to work out of his studio in Austin, Texas, where he focuses on his photography and conservation advocacy.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Creating is an addiction. With all the highs and lows you would expect. I am interested in the surface textures and creating paintings that portray them in realistic detail. Hopefully a viewer will feel they can run a hand over the feathers and moss, or grasp an object in the painting. This detail is usually composed in an abstract design. The design can occur naturally or be arranged by me.
