‘Field Guide’ is a series of experimental photography by\u00a0David Emmite<\/a>. According to David, “Field Guide takes a light-hearted look at the challenges of being a woodland creature. In the artificial world I’ve created for them, a Mallard needs a little help to fly and a Bohemian Waxwing needs to be heard. I tinkered with nature\u2019s perfect design by inventing some gadgets to help them out. At the same time, I wanted to remind the viewer of how man\u2019s need to screw with everything can be so ridiculous.<\/p>\n

This series was inspired by my \u00a0fascination with Victorian Era taxidermy dioramas that seemed to \u00a0blend of some sort of natural science project and art. I also wanted to keep my \u00a0method true to the Victorians as well by using real taxidermied animals combined with artificial \u00a0or preserved landscape elements \u00a0and printed paper backgrounds. \u00a0Each image is created entirely in-camera and with conventional film and printing methods. All the props and sets where created and shot at my \u00a0studio in Southeast Portland. The animals were purchased on Ebay.”<\/p>\n
