Enzo Giordani, Black Swans (ANIMAL 2025)

Rather than chase rare species, I much prefer to find original perspectives on animals people see all the time and have connection to. Black swans are one of my favourite subjects because they are incredibly graceful, have quirky personalities, and make wonderful shapes. After spending a lot of time capturing them, I found they look their best on dark backgrounds where the light and shadow mixes together, their eyes pop and their personalities shine through.
