fowl are a traditional subject of nature photography , and normally are seen as specimens of beauty . But the parrots that soar and roost around Tokyo are portrayed in the oeuvre ofYoshinori Mizutaniquite otherwise .
The birds , actually paroquet , are not native to Tokyo . They were originally import in heavy quantities as pets in the 1960s , and since have spawn savage mess that inhabit the surrounding areas . Mizutani ’s images , shot with a flash , often at night , are off - kelter and frenzied , reflecting the conflicted kinship of the foreign species to the surround urban surroundings . It ’s a stark contrast to the pristine , action mechanism - stop dead conventions of wildlife picture taking .
Mizutanidescribes his experience of seeing the good deal of parakeets as though he had fall into the Hitchcock picture show “ The Birds . ” His photos certainly do an amazing job conveying a kind of surreal terror . [ It ’s Nice That ]
