Macaw #5 - Signed limited edition archival pigment print

The iridescent feathers of a Green-Winged Macaw.
The feathers of the middle wing transition from red to yellow and green with blue tips.
Animal photography is about being ready for the split-second moment when it happens. This takes a certain amount of production.
The studio set-up, the lighting and the camera settings can all be planned but the magic moment is seldom planned. It just happens naturally and you need to be prepared.
Whether you capture it will depend on patience, concentration and reflex.

Tim Platt specialises in creating minimal stylised studio portraits of birds and animals, which he describes as beauty shots. A frozen moment in time allows us to observe the world in suspension and will often reveal a graphic beauty that might otherwise flash by in the blink of an eye and remain unnoticed.

Whether observing the magnified eye of a bullfrog, or an eagle captured at several thousandths of a second in mid-flight, he is fascinated by the level of detail that can be revealed in a large format print. It is the stillness of a photograph that gives us time to pause and marvel at the myriad levels of detail in Nature’s grand design and allows us to reflect on the wonderful diversity of life on Earth.
