Heart Of The Flock

2022

This photograph has been on my wish-list for well over five years – I remember sketching it out in my old bedroom, dreaming of the moment I would finally turn it into a photograph, totally unaware that it would be another 2000 days until that dream became reality.

I have worked with these birds extensively over the past five years, and despite working on creating different photographs of these birds, this one has always been in the back of my head at every single shoot – it was one of those shots that I just wasn’t willing to give-up on.

I like the fact they are surrounded by other birds – that is the reality of this species.
