Love Is The Aim

2024

This photograph has been on my wish-list for well over seven 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 2555 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 came close with ‘Heart Of The Flock’ but I felt there were too many other distractions in the final image. I like this attempt, the focus is solely on the two birds, and the colour of the Caribbean species works perfectly with the message behind the photograph. Love is the aim.
