I Take Pictures Of Birds So That People Can See Them Like Never Before (27 Pics)
I photograph birds in a studio, which is set up in nature. My own photographic methods are at the center of my work. A key point when photographing birds is the proximity. I work together with scientists, who study birds and capture them with mist nets. My studio is close to the mist nets out in nature. After the photo shoot, I can easily release the birds simply by opening the studio netting that connects the studio to the camera.
I started photographing the Birds series in 2014 in Finland. The main shooting location has been the ornithological station in a nature reserve in the outer Hankoniemi archipelago. Recently I have also worked in other research stations in Italy, in Lake Baikal region in Russia and in Costa Rica.

I've only seen one in my life. That thing was a right arrogant bastard. Was sitting in the middle of our driveway when we got home. Wouldn't fly away either, it was just casually strolling towards the house, sometimes looking back at us with disdain. My father and I were dying of laughter.

Do you have a wallpaper size of this picture, I love it (for instance 3840x1080, or 1920x1080)?

I think this may be a Erithacus rubecula, it is called Rødkælk in Denmark and maybe C**k Robin in english

"I am surprised at the everyday beauty of birds, by their subtle shades of greys and browns, and by their bright colours and the myriad of small details. The moment that I get to spend with each bird being photographed is magical".

Ok so the photographer travels around the world ... catching birds and placing a bet round them?? How is that possible? I'd like pictures to show that too really

Maybe it’s a mobile studio like in a tent that can be easily put up and taken down? I’d be curious to see it as well!
