Darth deer
- 📍 Location: Forêt de Rambouillet, France
- 📅 Date: September 2023
One early autumn morning in the forest of Rambouillet, a stag stepped out of the mist and simply held still, as though it had decided to let itself be seen rather than heard first. Low sun caught its antlers and reduced its eyes to two small, sharp points of light against the dark trees behind it, giving the whole frame a slightly ominous, almost cinematic weight, which is where the title comes from.
I shot this in black and white, so that nothing but that stillness and that stare would carry the frame: no autumn colour to soften the encounter, just the animal, the light, and the dark.
