Taken from projects I did a few years ago, these images were all taken at The International Centre for Birds of Prey. I was given amazing access to these beautiful birds over quite a few sessions in order to put together a collection of images which included portraits of the birds as well as an insight into the bird hospital at the centre.
The images were then shown in two exhibitions:
OWL at The Tobacco Factory, Bristol
BIRD/BATH at Under The Edge Arts, Wotton-under-Edge

If you’d like to order prints of these images, please contact Paul or visit the OWL Prints Site for a small selection.

Further reading! The Owls Have Landed a collection of photos from one of my first trips to the International Centre for Birds of Prey… this page also includes a few photos from the period in which an Eagle Owl was living in the woods across the road from my house and regularly used to attempt to land on people’s heads.
My original inspiration for these projects was a desire to photograph some portrait subjects which normally, as a corporate Bristol Photographer, I wouldn’t get the opportunity to photograph. This initial idea mixed with my love of owls and birds of prey gave way to many superb experiences which I cherish.
