Flight! A ten-shot series.
Lens: Various Camera: K7, K10D Photo Location: Various 
Posted By: CWyatt, 12-10-2010, 03:44 PM

Thought I'd post a little series I put together for the last publication of online doco magazine SEA Collectiv.

Whilst street photography normally focuses on human life, there is also a strong tradition of photographing the living creatures which share our urban spaces.

This series, Flight!, was born of both the street photography tradition and a reaction to the abundance of clear, colour nature photography circulating today.

I have preferred to depict common birds, in common human environments, with a view to showing that nature doesn't just exist in pristine or remote environments, but is part of everyday life.

These are outstanding photographs, Camus, and I appreciate your focus on urban wildlife. I couldn't agree more that the creatures who inhabit the spaces around us are very much under appreciated. You've opened the window on their lives and personalities. Well done.
