NS: Dark Times

[KeithL]

I'll post a few images from my 'Dark Times' series here - given they do seem to divide opinion.

Much of my work celebrates light, colour and life. ‘Dark Times’ deviates towards the dark, the monochromatic and mortality. The series includes motifs concerning beauty, impermanence, decay, mortality and religious doctrine, The work is being shot during the Covid-19 pandemic here in the UK and the series continues with the uncertainty of what is still to come....

I do accept that there are those who may find the images disturbing or challenging. I care deeply and passionately about animal welfare and actively support the cause. Virtually all of the subjects are habitat, barn and house finds. No lives are harmed in the making of these images, including my own.

Thank you for continuing with this project - disturbing - definitely - difficult to "like" - absolutely - and yet each image is fascinating in its own right - be it the subject - your flawless technical skill - but especially the care and deliberation with which each subject is approached.

Many thanks S for your kind comments, they are, as usual, very much appreciated!

Hi,

Great concept and execution.

Best regards,

@KeithL , nice photo's and I think they way you execute them (both composition and technical excellence) you show respect to these dead creatures, so for me they are perfectly OK.

These images remind me so much of the tragic Midway Atoll Albatross story. https://www.albatrossthefilm.com/
