'Monarch'

'Monarch'

Early on a September morning, I ventured into the countryside. As I walked through the rusty ferns and fallen leaves, I came face to face with a majestic monarch, standing proud over its autumn landscape. The Red Deer didn’t seem to mind my presence, and stood tall as I photographed it.

'Stag Staredown'

'Stag Staredown'

Seeking shade from the warm sun, I came across a Red Deer deep in the forest, framed by luscious foliage, just turning into autumnal tones. It was unsure at first, but relaxed when I gained its trust.

'Spring Sunrise'

'Spring Sunrise'

Early one spring morning, I encountered a young deer in the forest. It stood perfectly in a shard of golden light, silhouetted by the rising sun and shrouded in a delicate mist. After a few seconds it took off into the nearby meadow, but stood curiously long enough for me to take a few images.
