Turning to Look Back — Trick of the Light

Reduced-resolution preview. Purchased files are delivered clean and full-resolution.

Ask this bird what color it is, and the answer changes with the light. Across twenty studio portraits, a family of glossy starlings turns preening into a costume change — emerald one moment, sapphire the next, then violet, teal, and gold-flecked black, each shift caused by nothing more than the angle of a wingbeat. Every feather is real; only the color is negotiable. A study in structural iridescence, staged like fine-art portraiture against total black.
