A total hoot! Beautiful birds – in pictures

Photographer Claire Rosen has released a series of portraits featuring live birds, ranging from fluffy owlets to rosy flamingos. The project documents various avian species through a carefully composed, artistic lens.

The work extends beyond simple wildlife photography, as Rosen's journey with the birds led her to explore themes of colonialism and wallpaper design, connecting natural history to broader cultural and historical narratives. The series prompts reflection on human interaction with nature and the aesthetic traditions that shape our perception of it.
