Great White Pelican No. 1
Name: Juliet
Photographer Notes: Many models are tall, and Juliet was no expectation. The top of her head was almost four feet. Her beauty was captivating. She was perfect, almost surreal. Unlike many birds, the feathers on her body were tiny, giving her a look of a smooth white coat instead of rough feathers like most birds. During the shoot, craft services served large sardines and other small fish to snack on. When she took down a fish, the expansion of her beak was just incredible. I absolutely love the gray tones on the equally luminous background gray.

Snowy Owl No. 1
Name: Poppy
Photographer Notes: Poppy’s gorgeous yellow iris’s were a focal point for her portraits. Owls are one of the most expressive animals I’ve photographed. Their eyes tell a story unlike any other creature. I wanted to show three likenesses of her: one of intensity, one of humor, and one more contemplative. Poppy cooperated and was a fantastic model. She is currently traveling the world with her owner working to educate the world about Owls and other birds of prey. Also to note: people always ask, is Poppy the bird in Happy Potter, you know Hedwig? I’m sorry to disappoint my friends, but she is not.

Frazzle Chicken No. 1
Name: Hattie
Photographer Notes: Hattie was quite a site. Although the term “’frazzle” refers to her curly hair caused by a recessive gene, Hattie’s personality fit the bill too. She was hyperactive, running around like crazy, glancing this way and that way but eventually succumbed to my camera. From a visual perspective, I love the small pop of red in the mostly white and cool canvas.

White Cockatoo
Name: Ruth
Photographer Notes: Ruth was ‘on’ the day I photographed her. Exploring white on white tones is something I’ve always been interested. It can be a challenge for photographers because you can lose detail in the whites easily. But within that challenge is a chance to show a subtle pattern and texture if exposed correctly. Working with Ruth was painless. She was social and literally speaking to us the entire time. Like many birds do, she puffed up her feathers and I captured this single frame where the elements of white create a beautiful shape, texture, and form.

Ayam Cemani Rooster Black Collection
Name: Krishna
Photographer notes: Krishna is real. No Photoshop. Ayam Cemani’s are amazing. They’re all black, cone, beak, feathers, and even meat. It looked almost unreal from the online images I saw. Ayam’s have only been allowed in the states for 2 years so it was difficult to find an owner. I finally found a small farm of exotic chickens and journeyed to capture a portrait of Krishna. Krishna puffed up his feathers and simultaneously stood up.

Black Bull No. 1
Name: Wayne Crosby
Photographer notes: Wayne Crosby fit us, in his schedule. If it’s not obvious, cows are one of my favorite subjects. And this portrait of the cantankerous Wayne Crosby was my first in the series of the black collection and still remains well in demand. Some animals I prefer to be pristine and clean, others I prefer natural to their environment. Prior to the shoot, Wayne Crosby spent time in the pasture kicking up dust, chomping on hay, and chasing after some pretty little heifers. We created a mobile set in the big red barn and were able to capture a handful of frames before he ran out on us. Dairy Cows, Steers, and Heifers are usually docile. Bulls, not so much.

Name: Murphy (Murph for short)
Photographer notes: Murph had me on my toes the whole time. He had a low growl the entire shoot but by this time I knew the trainers well enough to know we were safe and Murph was simply in his ‘work mode.’ It went so well, you could sense the mutual respect and admiration between him and his trainer. Sometimes referred to as panthers, they’re actually a leopard that inherited a melanistic gene. The name panther comes from Panthera with the Felidaue family.

Photographer notes: Geronimo was no dog. I love dogs and am around them all time. And when I see pictures of wolves, I associate them with dogs. But when I saw Geronimo in person, I knew instantly he was a wolf and not a dog. The way wolves move and their sleek figure is an instant give away. I could tell he was more predatorial, more primal, and more instinctual than any dog. Wolves don’t walk, they prance. And Geronimo did just that. He danced around the studio, sniffing us all briefly and posed for us for only a few minutes and then he was ready to leave.

Penguin No.1
Name: Kowalski
Photographer Notes: Who doesn’t like a penguin named Kowalski? African Penguins are sometimes referred to as Black Footed Penguins or Jackass Penguins (for their loud Donkey-like call). This penguin, Kowalski, was quite the performer in studio. He waddled around, gobbled up fish, talked a lot, and very occasionally would puff his small feathers out like so many birds do. One thing that is interesting about Penguins is that they truly smell like fish. I guess the old adage, you are what you eat, holds true for them.

Name: Lewis
Photographer notes: Like all young animals, Lewis was a speed demon. And a mischievous little guy. He was getting into everything in the studio, completely un-phased by the camera, lights, or my crew. When he finally showed up on the set, he didn’t stay long but I captured around 30 frames and this one was it. The shot showed off Lewis’s mischievous and youthful spirit. It’s like he’s looking around at me saying, “don’t tell my mom”.

Photographer Notes: Compared to his brother, Amari was a bit more calm and relaxed on set. I thought it would be interesting to further anthropomorphize him by placing Amari in very human position. He was agreeable and was happy to pose for us. This shot in particular was inspired by the famous Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker. Throughout the shoot, Amari would run around, dance, and then jump into my arms for a hug. A funky monkey no doubt. At the end of the shoot, he played the bongos on my head, which you can see in this video here.

Bengal Tiger No. 1
Name: Shika
Photographer notes: Shika was my first large cat to photograph in studio. Large cats in studio are an experience unlike anything else. The combination of power and grace is tangible. They command respect and one wrong move can make things escalate quickly. I remember distinctly when Shika’s trainers removed her leash and asked her to walk to the mark. The way she walked was so graceful, and stunningly beautiful. But I was in the middle, at her mercy. The feeling that I could be prey was chilling. She received fresh, uncooked meat as her reward between takes. I only work with trainers who show a great amount of respect for the animals and are incredibly thoughtful with their care. Shika’s owners not only treat her with dignity but also love. It was obvious there’s an ongoing relationship of trust and appreciation. I have a video of this experience, which you can see here.

Duckling Portrait
Name: Luna
Photographer Notes: Luna was adorable. I mean c’mon look at her, only 2 weeks old when I photographed her in a country barn outside of Austin, TX. She waddled around quickly and stopped for just one second here to stretch her feathers. Even though it was summer, young ducklings love (and need) heat so we had warm hot lamps on the tabletop we photographed her on which she soaked up like the summer sun. Cuteness resides here.

Photographer Notes: Maxine was calm, cool, and collected. Cows were my first journey into the world of animal photography and they are still my favorite subjects. She’s made many appearances on TV commercials and movies. I guess Maxine’s as close to a celebrity cow as there is. Her performance in studio did not disappoint and my desire for a straight on, clean portrait came with ease. One note about celebrity cows is their bathroom breaks are so substantial (i.e. voluminous), a member from her entourage stands close by on set ready to jump in with a large bucket to catch her… ahem, digestive elimination shall we say.

Photographer: Originally from Sweden, the gregarious Hugo had swagger. O’Rusts are a rare breed with less than 1000 known living in the world and typically a more wild chicken by appearance. You can see from Hugo’s profile that he is leaner and more muscular than a typical rooster. He also wears a beautiful black and white feathery coat, has spotted legs, and his ear lobes are white. Seriously cool, seriously unique. Pair Hugo up with these other roosters.

Elephant No. 1
Name: Eloise
Photographer Notes: Eloise had us all mesmerized by her sheer size. But equally as powerful, was the serene nature of her personality. She moved softly with great care and tact. Despite her size, she could sense if she was about to step on something even an inch wide and adjust her stride. I've photographed many animals and I rarely have the chance to touch the animal I'm working with because of safety or comfort level of the animal. But in this instance, I was able to put my hand on Eloise's shoulder and feel the wonderfully unique texture of her skin and wrinkles. I closed my eyes as I felt the rise and fall of her breath and felt an amazing sense of gratitude come over me. An amazing moment.

Young Lion
Name: Jabari (which means brave)
Photographer Notes: Jabari, bedhead, messy teenager. Part of the interest of this shot is that he has a young mane growing in. This is so indicative of a teenager, which I guess in Lion years, Jabari was right on schedule. The messiness, the awkwardness, and the length all cue the audience to his age and demeanor. Like a teenager, he was all over the place when we photographed him. Some animals sit still for me and I can capture plenty of images. But Jabari only sat still a few times, and I only captured a few decent shots. His size was small enough to know he was young but still big enough to intimidate me as an observer.

Highland Cow No. 1
Name: Gertrude
Photographer Notes: What a Gertrude. Similar to a Yak, Highland Cows have long, beautiful shaggy hair. Per their name, they are originally from the Highlands of Scotland. Most Highlands are redheads but Gertrude was a blonde beauty. I loved how her locks covered up her eyes, and in this frame I selected, she tilted her head slightly as if she was telling me something. My affinity for cows definitely holds true with these beautiful highlands and this portrait of pretty Gertrude is hanging in my house.

But what’s so perfect about Eleanor is that she owns it. She’s comfortable in her own hide and that self-confidence clearly shines through in this portrait. Per their name, they are originally from the Highlands of Scotland.

Name: Moses
Photographer Notes: Let it grow Moses. I had the chance to photograph him just before his annual sheering. His heavy, piebald, wool coat was long and I assume, very hot. Consequently, Moses really enjoyed the cool air conditioning and refreshing beverages in the studio that day. The Jacob sheep takes its name from the story told in the Old Testament of how Jacob became a selective breeder of piebald sheep. No one knows exactly how old Moses is, but based on his namesake, I assume he’ll live to around 120 (in sheep’s years of course).

The founder of the organization is continually pushing efforts for large cat conservation and protection. On our outdoor mobile studio, Yohan was easy going, interested in playing with a large cat toy, chasing it around like he was a cub. At the sanctuary, they have a 400-yard open area for Yohan to show off his speed.

Name: Octavius
Photographer notes: Octavius was vocal, to put it mildly. My experience with goats and sheep has always been wonderful but the one thing worth noting is how loud a sheep ‘bah’ really is. Especially in the studio. It’s piercing to be honest. I love the shape of his horns and black stripes on his face and neck. But the pièce de résistance is the crooked smile Octavius gave me for this one frame. What’s his emotion? You decide.

I’ve created portraits of lions, tigers, cougars, panthers, cheetahs, and two spotted leopards. In person, the spotted leopard is without a doubt the most stunning. The spots, the pattern, the color, the strength, the grace is overwhelmingly beautiful. I hope my pictures do them justice. This is Shena who had such amazing and calming presence on set. Sadly she passed away from a rare disease 2 months after this photograph was taken. She is dearly missed.

Time flies but at the same time, stands still. Felix is a celebrity cat for sure and has been featured in many commercials and movies. He’s an old hat. His trainers are amazing and it’s evident seeing them work with Felix that their bond is strong and is mutually loving. When choosing exotic animals to work with in studio, I either work with conservationists or with reputable trainers that I know treat their animals with the utmost respect and dignity they deserve.

Name: Buddy
Photographer Notes: Buddy was born a twin, which is extremely rare for Giraffes, so consequently a person had to bottle feed Buddy as a baby to make sure he received the proper nutrition. Because of this, he grew up with so much attention and became very comfortable with people. As you can imagine he also became very popular. Buddy was sweet and a delight to work with on set and his loving owners are heavily involved in Giraffe conservation and education.

Photographer Notes: Being in a studio with a big cat off leash is an incredible experience. The size and presence of a big cat is tangible, so powerful, and commands respect. Time flies but at the same time, stands still. Felix is a celebrity cat for sure and has been featured in many commercials and movies. He’s an old hat. His trainers are amazing and it’s evident seeing them work with Felix that their bond is strong and is mutually loving. When choosing exotic animals to work with in studio, I either work with conservationists or with reputable trainers that I know treat their animals with the utmost respect and dignity they deserve.

B&W Grizzly Bear Portrait
Name: Bam Bam
Photographer Notes: Bam-bam was a rockstar. Another celebrity animal, he has appeared in many commercials and movies. Like other bears, he loves his sweets and enjoyed honey and pastries on set. With large predators like bears, I always work with trainers that are not only safe but also love and respect their animals. It was clear that Bam Bam and his owner have a great relationship and you can sense the mutual trust and respect. In my video here, you can see his trainer giving him a true bear hug. What an experience that must be.
