David Frazer, Pelican Soliloquy (ANIMAL 2024)

Set against the fiery tapestry of a sunrise, ‘Pelican Soliloquy' celebrates the quiet grace of these majestic birds. The first image, capturing a quartet against the dawn, highlights their communal roosting rituals. The close-ups that follow offer an intimate glimpse into the pelican’s serene gaze, textured plumage, and the delicate hues of its bill — each portrait a testament to the intricate details that compose the wild tapestry of nature.
