complete gallery of feather to fire images

feather to fire

A selection of Gregory Colbert’s images of birds and elephants.

The photographs, gathered on more than 40 expeditions since 1992, capture extraordinary moments of contact between man and animal. The result of profound patience and vision, the photographs have not been digitally collaged or superimposed; they record what the artist himself saw through the lens.

Printed and bound in Italy on deckle edge Biblos paper from Cartiera Magnani in Pescia, Italy— the paper on which Napoleon’s wedding announcement was printed; hand-sewn binding; cover from handmade Nepalese paper sealed with natural beeswax; tied with thread stained with hibiscus tea leaves and a Nepalese bead.
