LOOK CLOSER / JJ PHOTOGRAPHIC OBSERVATION

A way of seeing.

The face, pose and nearby surroundings provide a starting point for studying how a portrait conveys the animal without implying a different setting.

How would you describe the setting honestly in a short caption? Keep identification, observation and interpretation separate.

These are JJ’s visual observations and learning prompts, not a first-person account by the source photographer.

The capture, with context.
