FLAMINGO NOIR
As photographers who work primarily in black and white, we often get asked how we would approach animals or birds whose primary calling card is their colour. This image was an attempt to validate our creative hypothesis that there is enough beauty in form, shape and gesture to make colour redundant at times!
We have travelled extensively in Africa, and to a limited degree in India, for our photography.
