PAUL’S comment

-

Portrait photograph­y can apply to birds, too, so we tried a few shots of some of the falcons lined up in front of their cages. Being an editor myself, I like to shoot some editorial shots sometimes, leaving gaps for text at the top. What Ben also taught me was to compose so the background behind was in shadow and therefore darker, and then to use a little negative exposure compensati­on (-1/3 or -2/3 stop) to darken the background further. As the birds themselves were well-lit, this helps them stand out a bit better.
