The story behind the photo
A fox walking the grass bank at the water’s edge near Croissy-sur-Seine at the end of the day, when the light no longer falls on the landscape but along it. The animal is in profile, moving from right to left, low to the ground, with the whole weight of his tail behind him.
The framing places him on the horizontal line where the mown grass meets the darker vegetation, so his back draws a straight line across the picture and the movement reads as a glide. I stayed at his level, close to the ground, which is the only way to give a fox his true silhouette; photographed from standing height, he becomes a dog, and everything that makes him a fox is lost.
The light is the last of the sun, red and almost horizontal. It ignites the guard hairs of the shoulder and flank and leaves the background entirely in shadow, so the animal seems lit from inside. There is no fill, no reflector, nothing added: only a coat that evolution designed for exactly this hour.
Foxes come out at dusk because everything they hunt comes out at dusk, and a photographer who wants them has to accept the worst light of the day and make it the subject rather than the obstacle.
I wanted a print with almost no colour in it except that one, and an animal who owns the last minutes before nightfall.

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.
