I quickly realized that the best time to capture large flocks of birds is in the evening at dusk, before they settle in the trees for the night. I love the shapes they make as I caught them flapping their wings.

I tried to re-create the birds I  captured in picture buy cutting out a large anount of tiny black birds out of paper, I stuck them onto a grey wall, similar to the color of the sky in my picture. My aim was to try and recreat the formation of the birds in the pictures.. I also hung birds from the ceiling using clear fishing wire. The birds hanging from the ceiling were hanging close to a door. Everytime the door would open or close it would cause the birds to move, causing movement and motion.

Prints

I based some of my prints around photographs I have taken. I used a similar color scheme of light blue fading into white as seen on some of the pictures in my previous post.

I love photography! Majority of my project is based around the photographs that I take of birds. The photographs that I take are the inspiration for my pieces of artwork.
