Over 40,000 years ago, we began to depict animals in cave drawings. Throughout history, mankind’s consistent portrayal of animals in art is a testament to the importance of our connection with the animal kingdom. As mankind evolved, so did our artwork. We began to not only depict but personify animals. We began to
see our human emotions in animals. This anthropomorphism or personification connected us to animals on a deeper and more emotional level. This collection of work is my perspective and portrayal of the animal kingdom. As a portrait photographer, my intention is for these animal portraits to speak to us. What they say depends on the conscious and subconscious feelings we embody.
By photographing each animal in-studio on a neutral background, I am creating a portrait that is focused on the animal only and often the eyes are the focal point. This deconstructive approach to portraiture allows us to experience the creature in a way otherwise not possible. Through this language of simplistic portraiture, these photographs are aimed to elicit an emotion in the viewer. Whether it’s beauty, power, or humor, I want to give animals the opportunity to tell their story and to connect with you us an emotional level.
A portrait is a collaboration between subject and artist. These are no different. I am working with the animal itself and typically the animal’s owner or trainer. Without collaboration from subjects on both sides of the camera, it would be impossible to create these unique portraits. My process starts with photographing the animal in-studio and crafting lighting that is simple but executed exceptionally well. The backgrounds in my portraits are a neutral color that compliments the animal without being distracting. During the shooting process, it’s not uncommon that an animal gives you just a glimpse of its personality. My need to stay on point and focused is imperative in capturing that split second when an animal reveals itself. To finish the process, I apply a simple treatment of dodging and burning to the image in post-production (retouching). These subtle adjustments to color and contrast allow me to further push the image to a place that is tactile while at the same time soft and aesthetically pleasing. And of course, these are animals. We love them, we respect them, but we cannot control them. It’s up to
them to decide the story being told. And at the end of the day, if the photo gods shine down upon us, we get to see just a brief glimpse into their soul.
Catalina: Catalina made me just as nervous as some big cats. But sometimes you get one frame with just the right pose. And I consider myself lucky to have captured Catalina in this pose. We had limited time with her because well, she’s not only a big bird but also a fast one. And ostriches can be very dangerous. Although they are considered prey to big cats, their defense mechanism is to raise their massive talons and kick the hell out of a predator. In order to keep her safe and us safe, Catalina’s trainers brought in a 20x20 metal fencing...

Hugo: Originally from Sweden, the gregarious Hugo had swagger. O’Rusts are a rare breed with less than 1000 known living in the world and typically a more wild chicken by appearance. You can see from Hugo’s profile that he is leaner and more muscular than a typical rooster. He also wears a beautiful black and white feathery coat, has spotted legs, and his ear lobes are white. Seriously cool, seriously unique. Pair Hugo up with these other roosters.

Narrative:
If you’re wondering how a bear made it into the book, you are not alone. With her coarse coat, and the sheer abundance of it, Mimi resembles a great Grizzly in the wild. Or, perhaps, the land that it walks on. I couldn’t help but notice the way that all of the earthen colors, mixed with the varying lines and textures, came together to create a portrait resembling that of an aerial photo...

If you’re wondering how a bear made it into the book, you are not alone. With her coarse coat, and the sheer abundance of it, Mimi resembles a great Grizzly in the wild.

THE EYES OF A WOLF are not like the eyes of a dog. But, they used to be.
Rooted deep in the very heart of this collection was an enduring desire to explore and learn from the emotional connections we share with out closest companions: Dogs. As I sat face to face with over 120 different dogs, I couldn’t help but contemplate their origins. I couldn’t help but recognize the beautiful similarities they hare with one another, namely, their unwavering desire to be close to the humans that love them.
We know that dogs descended from wolves. The details around this decendency, however, vary widely. Scientists aren’t entirely sure when in time the split began. And there are still a sea of questions regarding where. But, what I find most interesting throughout all of the evolutionary studies around dogs is the overwhelming evidence for a process called self-domestication. There have been cases recorded among other types of animals (foxes, for example), where scientists believe that the friendliness of an animal, for various reasons, led to the significant advantage of their survival. Brian Hare, head of Duke University Canine Cognition Center, suggests that the physical changes in dogs over time, like splotchy coats, curly tails, and floppy ears, might all be a result of self-domestication. “Friendliness somehow drives these physical changes.”
It is believes that perhaps humans are, in face, not responsible for the domestication of wolves at all, but that, instead, wolves domesticated themselves. To be near to us.
It is said that if friends are the family you choose, then dogs are the family that choose you. And choose us, it seems they did. How beautiful that the very thing we marvel at most in our pets— loyalty, love, steadfastness—are the very thing that evolved to allow us to have them in the first place. That it may all come down to a moment when the wild wolf decided to become…the Good Dog.
