David Tatin :: from “Bestiary” series, unique original print by
cyanotype (colored with tea) “One of the borders I like to
roam, is the one between day and night. It’s a good time to observe
animals, but it is difficult to transmit the feelings you get because
the most beautiful moments, the most intense, often boil down to a
stealthy animal silhouette.” quoted from source: loeildelaphotographie
