Fine-art photography

Michael Wilkins

I photograph wildlife, cities and wild places on a Canon EOS-1D X Mark II — not on assignment, just because I can't help it. Every frame here is mine.

The Mirror · f/1.2
It starts where every photograph starts. Behind the camera.
Into the Glass · f/2.8
Light does the travelling. The glass keeps it honest.
The Mirror Box · 1/8000
For one eight-thousandth of a second, the camera is the only witness.
The Burst · 12 fps
Twelve frames a second. One that matters.
The Work · ∞
Fine-art photography, for the love of it.
