Location: Kruger National Park, South Africa
Photographing birds can involve a great deal of waiting for a moment that is over almost immediately. Along the riverbank, birds like this Pied Kingfisher watch from branches before launching rapidly towards a possible catch. This photograph records the instant of departure. The suspended pose reveals the spread of the feathers and the balance of the body, making visible a movement that is difficult to study with the unaided eye. Patience provides the opportunity; the shutter preserves the instant.
Artwork #9 — A009
Full-Colour Aluminium
Size: 45 × 30 cm (WxH)
Limited edition of 300, across all sizes and materials combined.
