Snakes
Snakes are a diverse and often misunderstood subject for my photography. I document their varied patterns and their role as predators. I capture their movements and their presence in diverse habitats. I observe their behaviors, from hunting to shedding. I aim to show their importance in the ecosystem and to dispel common fears. Their beauty and vital role deserve recognition.
