The Otter II

2021

It has been an interesting year, and certainly, one of the highlights for me has been working with some more varied species.

Two of those species are the meerkat, and the otter, both of which have proven to be such interesting subjects. It’s been a great challenge capturing a single frame of both species that does them justice and shows their personalities.

In July I shared the result of my time spent with the meerkat, and today, in November, I am delighted to share the result of my time with the otter.

I think the photograph works – there is personality in his face, and his damp fur hints at the otter’s love of swimming. My autism also draws me to the beautiful patterns created by the damp fur.

Looking forward to delving into the worlds of some more lesser-photographed species in 2022.
