Jill Cole

Jill Cole's lecture was interesting but it wasn't my favourite, she showed us a lot of work from a project she is doing called ''Birds'', it was clear she was passionate about her work and very proud of the out come.

The project took over 18 months and was shot on British military land the photos show birds that have been captured for conservation. the birds are caught in a net tied between two metal poles and assured us none of the birds are hurt.
When Cole takes a photograph she uses a very shallow depth of field and focuses on the bird and nothing else so the background and even some of the netting is out of focus.

Her images are very interesting but they are not 'my cup of tea', i think this is because I am not really big on wildlife photography, however if i ever need to produce some wildlife images I will be sure to research Jill Cole.
