The story behind the photo
A fox lying in a mown meadow near Croissy-sur-Seine, head up, forelegs stretched out in front of him, entirely at ease. The horizontal frame gives him the lower third and leaves the rest to grass and hedgerow, so the animal is placed rather than presented. He is not filling the picture, he is occupying a corner of it.
The light comes low from the side: the guard hairs along his back are burning slightly while his face stays in shadow, and the meadow holds that particular soft green that only lasts an hour. A wide aperture leaves the grass in front of him and the hedge behind him unresolved, so the sharp band across his body reads as a shelf of light he has chosen to lie on.
There is something almost insolent about a wild animal resting in the open. Everything we are taught about foxes involves vigilance, and here is one stretched out in a field like a dog on a lawn, watching me with no intention whatsoever of standing up.
My intention was to photograph that confidence rather than the animal’s beauty. The print is about a fox being comfortable, which is far rarer to witness than a handsome one, and much harder to earn.

Materials
Hahnemühle fine art papers (Photo Rag, Museum Etching, Fine Art Baryta…), chosen for each photograph.
Print mounted on 3 mm aluminium Dibond: rigid, light, no glazing.
Print set between 3 mm Dibond and an acrylic sheet: richer colour and depth, resistant to UV and humidity.
Framing, optional
For paper prints: white mount and Plexiglas glazing, museum glass optional. The mount puts space between the photo and the frame: a classic, understated look that draws the eye to the image.
For aluminium and acrylic, black or white. A narrow gap separates the photo from the moulding: it seems to hang suspended inside its frame, for a contemporary look.
For aluminium and acrylic: an aluminium structure fixed to the back, invisible once hung. The photo seems to rest on the wall, slightly set off from it.
