When I take photos of animals a lot of them are when the animal is caught off guard. The less the animal is aware of you the more of itself it is. When I take photos sometimes it’s like I’m not even there to the animal, other times my presence changes how they react. In some of these photos it felt like more was going on behind the surface. It always makes me wonder what they were they thinking. How do they experience the world?
