A handful of screen grabs from some of the footage I began importing & logging on the 14th of this month for Project Pedal...
This collection presents a breathtaking cinematic journey through the avian world, capturing the raw essence of diverse species in their most iconic states. From the powerful, sun-drenched silhouette of a golden eagle perched in the highlands to the serene, minimalist grace of a grey heron standing in a morning mist, each image is a masterclass in light, texture, and composition.
The series explores various habitats: the dramatic snowy peaks where raptors soar, the tranquil pink-hued wetlands of wading flamingos, the intricate stick-nests of urban storks, and even the clandestine world of a peregrine falcon overlooking a bokeh-filled city night. Every feather is rendered with hyper-realistic precision, emphasizing the bridge between high-end wildlife photography and the limitless possibilities of digital creation. This portfolio serves as a visual tribute to biodiversity, stillness, and the predatory elegance of birds.

The Winter Sentinel: A Red Squirrel’s Survival
This evocative series of photorealistic images captures the resilient and enchanting life of a red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) amidst a pristine, snow-covered winter forest. The collection showcases a masterclass in cinematic lighting, blending wide-angle vistas of frozen pine woodlands with intimate, high-detail macro shots. Each frame reveals the intricate textures of the squirrel’s russet fur, delicate frost-tipped whiskers, and expressive dark eyes.
From the dynamic energy of a mid-air leap through powdery snow to the quiet, focused moments of foraging for pine cones on ice-dusted branches, the series highlights the ethereal beauty of nature’s struggle against the elements. The use of shallow depth of field and soft, golden-hour sunlight creates a magical atmosphere that celebrates the spirit of woodland wildlife in sub-zero temperatures.

Of about 20-30 pictures I took of this dandelion, this was the only one that was in focus. So hard to do macro, especially on a windy day.
this is a model test shoot for lighting but this image had a very interesting twist. photographer souleye sharpfocus photography washington dc.

Vibrant, raised enamel colors pop against the dark, fired clay of indigenous deity masks hanging from a sun-drenched, weathered wooden market stall. These striking artisanal crafts, displayed prominently in the high-altitude air of the Argentine Northwest, capture the rich pre-Columbian heritage of the region. Intense, direct Andean sunlight casts sharp, defining shadows that emphasize the tactile, three-dimensional quality of the thick paint and the rough grain of the timber. A shallow depth of field isolates the hanging pendants in sharp focus while gently blurring the terracotta pots resting on the shelf above. Those lidded pots, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and stylized animal motifs, echo the ancient ceramic traditions of the Diaguita and other local cultures. Such markets are the lifeblood of towns like Iruya and those scattered throughout the Quebrada de Humahuaca, serving as visual libraries of ancestral lore. The fierce, expressive faces on the masks, framed by elaborate headdresses painted in primary reds, blues, and yellows, symbolize protective spirits or mythological figures. The warm, earthy tones of the terracotta and wood harmonize beautifully with the explosive bursts of color, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. In the deep background, a wash of red and muted bokeh suggests the bustling, colorful presence of other market goers moving through the sunlit plaza. As a documentary record, this close-up honors the meticulous craftsmanship and the enduring cultural identity that defines the Norte Argentino. It is a testament to the artisans who keep these vibrant artistic traditions alive for passing travelers and future generations. This image is a collaborative production by Samuel Jeffery and Audrey Bergner for Project 23.

Vibrantes colores de esmalte en relieve resaltan contra la arcilla oscura y cocida de las máscaras de deidades indígenas que cuelgan de un puesto de mercado de madera desgastada y bañada por el sol. Estas llamativas artesanías, exhibidas de manera destacada en el aire de gran altitud del noroeste argentino, capturan la rica herencia precolombina de la región. La luz solar andina, intensa y directa, proyecta sombras nítidas y definitorias que enfatizan la calidad táctil y tridimensional de la pintura gruesa y la veta rugosa de la madera. Una profundidad de campo reducida aísla los colgantes en un enfoque nítido mientras desenfoca suavemente las vasijas de terracota que descansan en el estante de arriba. Esas vasijas con tapa, adornadas con intrincados patrones geométricos y motivos animales estilizados, se hacen eco de las antiguas tradiciones cerámicas de los diaguitas y otras culturas locales. Tales mercados son el alma de pueblos como Iruya y aquellos esparcidos por la Quebrada de Humahuaca, sirviendo como bibliotecas visuales de la sabiduría ancestral. Los rostros feroces y expresivos de las máscaras, enmarcados por elaborados tocados pintados en rojos, azules y amarillos primarios, simbolizan espíritus protectores o figuras mitológicas. Los tonos cálidos y terrosos de la terracota y la madera armonizan maravillosamente con los estallidos explosivos de color, creando un ritmo visual dinámico. En el fondo profundo, un lavado de rojo y un bokeh tenue sugieren la presencia bulliciosa y colorida de otros asistentes al mercado moviéndose a través de la plaza iluminada por el sol. Como registro documental, este primer plano rinde homenaje a la meticulosa artesanía y a la perdurable identidad cultural que define el Norte Argentino. Es un testamento a los artesanos que mantienen vivas estas vibrantes tradiciones artísticas para los viajeros que pasan y las generaciones futuras.

Stark against an impossibly deep azure sky, the Centro de Visitantes in Península Valdés commands the arid coastal steppe like a solitary outpost at the edge of the world. The structure’s low-slung, modern profile is grounded by a rugged foundation of local stone, a deliberate architectural choice that harmonizes the facility with its harsh, windswept Patagonian environment. To the right, an angular observation tower rises above the scrubland, its panoramic windows designed to offer sweeping views of the Golfo San José and Golfo Nuevo, crucial vantage points for spotting the region's famous marine wildlife. Shot under the brilliant, unyielding midday sun, the lighting casts sharp, geometric shadows across the facade, emphasizing the building's clean lines and the textures of the masonry. A wide depth of field captures every detail with pinpoint sharpness, from the golden, sun-bleached grasses swaying in the foreground to the very top of the towering communication mast that pierces the frame on the left. The presence of this facility highlights the intersection of ecotourism and conservation in this UNESCO World Heritage site, serving as both an educational hub for visitors and a vital research station. The skeletal frame of an older tower and the slender, modern radio antenna speak to the necessity of communication in this remote, isolated stretch of the Argentine coast. The atmosphere is one of profound quiet, broken only by the ever-present Patagonian wind rustling through the low-lying coastal vegetation. The composition balances the heavy, horizontal mass of the visitor center with the vertical thrust of the towers, utilizing the negative space of the vast, cloudless sky to convey a sense of immense scale. The polarizing filter effect on the sky creates a rich, saturated backdrop that makes the pale beige of the buildings and the warm ochres of the dry earth pop dramatically. It is a pristine documentation of human presence thoughtfully integrated into a wild, untamed landscape devoted to the preservation of global biodiversity.

Recortándose contra un cielo azul imposiblemente profundo, el Centro de Visitantes en la Península Valdés domina la árida estepa costera como un puesto de avanzada solitario en el fin del mundo. El perfil bajo y moderno de la estructura está cimentado por una base rústica de piedra local, una elección arquitectónica deliberada que armoniza la instalación con su duro y ventoso entorno patagónico. A la derecha, una torre de observación angular se eleva sobre el matorral, con sus ventanas panorámicas diseñadas para ofrecer vistas amplias del Golfo San José y el Golfo Nuevo, puntos de observación cruciales para avistar la famosa fauna marina de la región. Tomada bajo el sol brillante e implacable del mediodía, la iluminación proyecta sombras nítidas y geométricas a través de la fachada, enfatizando las líneas limpias del edificio y las texturas de la mampostería. Una amplia profundidad de campo captura cada detalle con una nitidez absoluta, desde las hierbas doradas y blanqueadas por el sol que se mecen en el primer plano hasta la punta del altísimo mástil de comunicaciones que perfora el encuadre a la izquierda. La presencia de esta instalación destaca la intersección del ecoturismo y la conservación en este sitio declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, sirviendo tanto como un centro educativo para los visitantes como una estación de investigación vital. El marco esquelético de una torre más antigua y la esbelta y moderna antena de radio hablan de la necesidad de comunicación en este tramo remoto y aislado de la costa argentina. La atmósfera es de una profunda quietud, rota solo por el omnipresente viento patagónico que susurra a través de la baja vegetación costera. La composición equilibra la masa pesada y horizontal del centro de visitantes con el empuje vertical de las torres, utilizando el espacio negativo del vasto cielo sin nubes para transmitir una sensación de escala inmensa. El efecto del filtro polarizador en el cielo crea un telón de fondo rico y saturado que hace que el beige pálido de los edificios y los ocres cálidos de la tierra seca resalten dramáticamente. Es una documentación prístina de la presencia humana cuidadosamente integrada en un paisaje salvaje e indómito dedicado a la preservación de la biodiversidad global.
