Showing an animal in the context of its environment tells more of a story than a simple, tightly composed "trophy shot." I view animals as abstractions, a shape or form to relate with other elements of a scene. Strong light, mood, and creative composition—as with landscape photography—are essential to transforming even ordinary wildlife subjects into something unexpected and visually compelling.
