Sabre Still Life, Paige Wingfield, 2020

Animals create quite an image for our world. They hold so much power, and beauty along with it. Incorporating animals into artwork is something that has always shown an interest to me. Animals have a mind of their own, therefore it's hard to be able to control them when photographing their beauty. Using the natural beauty of the world, brings both wildlife and mother nature into the picture. The world can be quite a nasty place, but whenever I’m around animals, I feel like the current issues in our world are behind me. I’m exploring the changes in the world, along with the mind of animals. Being able to put both together seems unique and calming to me, which I believe is something everyone should be able to feel whilst they look at the photos as well. I selected the content I did because I’ve always held a passion for animals, whether it ranges from just house pets, to things you’d find more exotic.
