Photographer Captured Squirrels Every Day For Six Years And Here Are The Incredible Results
Geert Weggen is a Dutch/Swedish international awarded photographer specialized in photographing Red squirrels.
Six years ago, a fox was standing on his doorstep, and Weggen rushed back inside to fetch some meat. The animal would come back every day to get more food, so the photographer used that as a chance to take some pictures.
As Weggen says himself:
"By the end of a second week, the fox would come to the balcony where it interacted with various props I used for photography. Soon before late, a Russian bird paid me a visit and continued on doing so daily. Suddenly, my balcony had become a studio filled with nature props, cameras, mirrors, etc. The bird followed me, and I followed the bird with my camera, as it searched for hidden food in scenes that I had created. Some photos of this encounter were awarded and published.
Eventually, red squirrels appeared, and they still come daily to my outside studio. Little did I know back then that it would become my living. Since last year I have been organizing Squirrel workshops at home. These workshops are held to occur two times a year when the young squirrels arrive. A maximum of 3 participants can join this 5-day workshop."
