Dammit Noah, how do you take such awesome pictures? Do you have a bunch of stuffed deer models in your studio and you take them out into the world and very carefully light the scene? Or is this natural light? I know, I know, you probably don’t want to give away your secrets, but honestly I think you could tell me every step you take and I still couldn’t hope to replicate it because I don’t think I have the patience. I’m joking around a bit here, you probably know, but deep down I’m just so in awe of your artistry.
Ha. Thanks. I don't really do anything that special but I do have a really nice camera and sometimes I use Profoto strobes. But really just wake up early.
It must also require that you move and behave in ways that don't alarm the deer, right?. It strikes me that the photos then become not just what you photograph and the tools and the time, but also this deep reflection of who you are. I'm just restating what you said, I'm sure, but it's helpful for me as I think about how to make the photographs I take truly reflect who I am.
That's what we thought in our old garden in NJ... never caught it in action on the trail cam but we did see the hoof prints, scat and garden devastation.

Wake up early I can do ... it's dragging myself out with my camera that's the hard part.
It gets easier over time if it becomes you are interested in making it part of your identity

Beautiful photographs. Have they jumped your garden fence yet?
Nope. My fence is over 6ft tall which is I think is above what they can jump.

We are experiencing a similar phenomenon, but in our case, it's Coyotes. I really should start my days earlier and take some pictures.

seems like it could be a great project.
I think so, too. I'm in the research phase right now. The mentioned website is of great help.
They know your property is an oasis with snacks. Did you read the book you mentioned? I’m always looking for a new post apocalyptic novel to read.
Awesome!!
