Relentless

Andrew Zuckermann's oddly fascinating bird portraiture.

Andrew Zuckermann is a brave man. It takes a special kind of courage to remain calm and collected, whilst composing a perfect portrait photograph of an emu, staring straight at you.

Emu, for the record is Australia’s largest bird, and just one of tens of bird species that Mr. Zuckermann has photographed for his most recent book, simply titled “Bird.”

On paper (or screen) this sounds utterly unexciting – the subject matter is set against a clean white backdrop and photographed with a state-of-the art camera. Nothing special, until you actually witness the simple, concentrated beauty of these fabulous animals. It’s like staring nature in the eye. Or a big, hairy Emu.
