Bird Portraits by Gary Heery

From The Guardian:

"Feathered friends are the subject of 'Bird,' the latest book from Gary Heery, one of Australia's most celebrated portrait photographers."

 

 

"Heery says to capture the birds in motion he erected a translucent tent, creating an intimate and contained environment in which the birds could fly."

 

 

"'I treated it, not unlike any other portraiture situation, as a kind of controlled spontaneity,' he said."

 

 

"The end result is a collection of dynamic yet almost clinically detailed images, with each bird's distinct personality captured in all its glory."

 

 

"'Bird' comes out on December 3, 2015 and will be accompanied by a two-week exhibition at Special Group Studio in Sydney."
