Affinity is a formidable studio portrait series of animals photographed against a stark black backdrop by Brad Wilson, a Santa Fe, New Mexico and Los Angeles, California-based commercial, stock, and fine-art photographer.
In the midst of our modern human civilization with all its technological complexities, animals still remain stark symbols of a simpler life and a wilderness lost. Perhaps these images can stand as a testament to this other fading world, and remind us, despite the pronounced feeling of isolation that too often characterizes our contemporary existence, that we are not alone, we are not separate – we are part of a beautifully rich and interconnected diversity of life.
