Great Grey Owl

Series: Raptors

A Great Grey Owl in a moment of serenity

–

The Great Grey Owl, also known in some areas as the Phantom of the North, is documented as the world’s largest species of owl by length. It is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere.

Mark Harvey is renowned for his carefully crafted lighting and detailed animal studies.   His style lends a dramatic, almost sculpture-like stillness to his subjects.

His Raptor series captures these magnificent birds both in the dramatic aerial acrobatics of their flight and in more quiet contemplative studies.   Harvey uses a medium format  Hasselblad camera – a camera brand developed by Victor Hasselblad in the 1960s, to optimise his own bird photography endeavours.

The medium format approach and hi-speed flash synchronisation creates images of phenomenal detail and clarity even at the largest sizes.
