Description: 
Digital photograph. "These images were created from a desire to show people a different side of a common and often overlooked creature, the Pigeon. Hated and shunned by many, pigeons are often seen as vermin and parasites. These images hope to lift the pigeons out of this generic stereotype, and show them as strong survivors with individual personalities. The images aim to be sharp and colourful, separating the individual pigeon from its surroundings, giving a close and direct connection with the viewer. They are not meant to be moralising and telling people how to feel, but merely attempts to give the pigeons a chance to be seen in a different light and context than the grey everyday city life." - Photographer's statement
