Renowned photographer Andrew Zuckerman traveled extensively throughout the year in four countries to photograph the 74 birds that appeared in his book with a simple but succinct title "The Bird."
«Bird" - the third book Zuckerman. He became famous throughout the world since the first book "Creature," in which animals are also photographed on a white background. In his second book, published in partnership with the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, were portraits of celebrities, politicians and other famous people in the same white background.
«When you take something out of context and puts it's on a white background you can see it in a completely different color - the photographer says. - All the attention is focused on the object. Most of its work I do on white background. It's all about the lack of space and color. You look directly at the object. In the end you are left alone with the shape and color. "
For each photo, Zuckerman and his team were building white background - sometimes in the studio, sometimes right in the middle of the zoo - and waited for the owners of the birds will make them take up positions in different ways. Someone put food on the other side of the scene, while the bird sat on the other hand, so to take the food, the bird was flying past the lens Zuckerman.
«Using superspeed camera and flash, I was able to capture these moments, gestures, or flapping wings, which is usually not possible to consider. Usually the birds are so fast that you see only the shape and color stain. With this equipment I was able to highlight these issues and offer you something that is usually hidden from human eyes. "
Zuckerman interested in birds since childhood, he regularly visits the Museum of Natural History in New York to watch the birds. "I like to think about their work, as 2D Taxidermy - he says. - To create a live record of the facility, which will remain forever. "
