BIRDWATCHING
Over the past year, my latest hyper-fixation has centred around birds. It started off with crows, as I developed a fascination for their behaviour and pure beauty, but that quickly evolved into all birds. Birds are forever present in our lives, but can sometimes go unnoticed because we are so used to them being there. The purpose of this project was to bring them to light, studying their personalities and characteristics. I decided to document my discoveries in the form of an album. I've focused in specifically on a handful of birds that I've had the most interactions with, capturing photos and audio recordings of them. I then translated that as best as I could into music.

Photography and Recordings
I've been taking my camera to a number of different locations to capture as many pictures as I could, whilst analysing and learning about their behaviours and temperaments. For the photos, I used a number of different cameras including my phone (iPhone 15 Pro), Canon PowerShot SX200 IS and NIKON D3200 with a 55-200mm AF-S f/1:4-5.6G ED DX VR lens. I also brought my Zoom H1 Handy audio recorder with me, and used my phone mic too, to capture some beautiful sounds from different locations. It was fascinating how varied the sounds were depending on place and time of day. Click the buttons to the right to see more!
