Mylayne's birds





Jean-Luc Mylayne's photography of common European birds, published by Twin Palms Publishers for his 2007 Houston exhibit, is beautiful. The artist shoots very little, dedicating his time to observing and getting acquainted with his models until he can shoot them from very close, once they are no longer afraid of his busy self. Each photography is patiently composed and shot to achieve a pictural effect, after which the bird usually flies away, never be seen again.

  1. franchement je n'ai jamais compris l'intérêt du travail de cet artiste hormis la longue attente de l'oiseau complaisant. Les bois flottés de la Seine ne sont guère plus dociles mais le résultat est plus spectaculaire!!
