In honor of #NationalBirdDay we're looking at the work of #EliotPorter, whose favorite subject was nature. He often waited patiently, for hours on end, for a bird to settle into the tree on which his camera was focused. He was one of the first photographers to embrace Kodachrome, an early color film developed in the mid-1930s that was slow to expose under natural light conditions, so photographing quickly moving birds required artificial light. The flash gives the pictures their otherworldly and almost painterly quality, but Porter further amplified this in the darkroom, deepening the blue and green hues during the printing process.
