Chipping away at my species snobbery, I armed myself with a dinky Leica Q2 and headed to my local pond ten minutes away, in the centre of London, U.K. Stepping outside my comfort zone, I began to appreciate form, shape, pattern, and light in ways I hadn’t before.
The luxury of time—to experiment, to slow down, to really look—was unrivalled. It led to quieter, more intimate images like this one. I’ve since returned to photographing coots regularly with the Q2, and will continue to do so as it brings me an immense amount of joy. They are so darn quirky and animated, wonderful beings to photograph.
