Shoot Season

A shoot day should capture more than just the bag;

its about the team, the dogs at work, and hot cup of soup on a cold day.

I look for the movement within the drive, the arc of the birds, and the stillness of a gun waiting on the peg. These images document the gravity of the field; here, an estate’s history is more than a backdrop, it's found in the biting air and the silence that hangs between drives.
