One frame a week. The eye it builds is yours.
A weekly close-read of a single decision — crop, light, restraint. No streaks, no pressure. Miss a week, it's fine.
Make the sun a star
A sunburst through an elephant's legs — the starburst is made in the aperture, not found in the sky.
The Study runs in sequences.
Small arcs that build one capability at a time.
Published so far.
When colour is in the way
A shoal of mobula rays — why black and white can reveal a photograph colour was hiding, and why converting is not the same as removing the colour.
Give it to the dark
Two baboons given almost entirely to shadow — a study in the silhouette, and why showing less of an animal can say far more.
Make it the hero
Two frames of one twinspot — a documentary shot from standing, and a ground-level frame that turns the bird into a hero.
The light is the subject
A backlit serval at dusk — expose for the light, not the animal, and let the subject fall into the glow.
Expose for the look
A high-key crane on snow — why the strongest edit is an exposure decision made in the field.
Restraint — know when it's finished
One fox in soft light — finished vs overworked.
Colour under wild light
One eagle on blue snow — subject vs light.
Make the subject step forward
One hummingbird, one edit decision — subject vs background.
The frame lives on the eye
One eagle, one edit decision — eye vs everything.
The crop that changes the frame
Same frame, five crops, nothing else changed.
