Renowned fine art photographer Brad Wilson has masterfully captured the enigmatic essence of wild animals through his mesmerizing studio portraits. Aptly titled “Affinity,” this series delves into the intricate relationship between humans and the extraordinary creatures inhabiting the farthest corners of our planet. Against a profound black backdrop, each bird, mammal, or reptile is isolated, allowing their souls to be revealed in a way that transcends traditional wildlife photography.

Wilson’s lens not only captures the innate beauty of these subjects but also explores the delicate balance between positive and negative human interactions with the animal kingdom, underscoring the vulnerability of each creature. Through “Affinity,” Wilson prompts reflection on our interconnectedness with the natural world, offering a poignant reminder of the vanishing wilderness and the coexistence we share with these captivating beings.

In his own words, “In the midst of our modern human civilization with all its technological complexities, animals still remain stark symbols of a simpler life and a wilderness lost. Perhaps these images can stand as a testament to this other fading world, and remind us, despite the pronounced feeling of isolation that too often characterizes our contemporary existence, that we are not alone, we are not separate – we are part of a beautifully rich and interconnected diversity of life.”
