Red fox portrait - There are times when working with habituated animals, such as this red fox, can be a useful addition to creating the kind of images that are much more unattainable in the wild. Whilst this is undoubtedly a completely wild red fox, free to roam and travel how he pleases he has, as any intelligent animal would, come to realise that keeping the company of certain people definitely has its benefits when it comes to acquiring food. As such, having never come into conflict with any unpleasant individuals he has lost his innate fear of people and instead sees them as a useful resource. Of course this confidence comes with certain risks but as a photographer I have no control over whether or not tourists or visitors to this particular location do or do not feed the wildlife but it did at least give me the opportunity to capture some intimate images that have in my entire 17 year career so far eluded me. The downside of course, apart from the obvious risk to the fox from some mindless cretin, is that the fox, as he does in this image, can look a little too relaxed, a little too sleepy. Nevertheless the advantages of proximity and more control over light can occasionally pay dividends but I maintain that nothing can compare to the feeling of looking through one's lens and seeing the wide open and alert eyes of a non-habituated fox staring right back. For now though I thought I'd introduce you to this slightly rotund and overfed scrounger, basking and begging in the late evening sunlight.
