During my regular visits to the nests of burrowing owls, I had the pleasure of observing the endearing bond between two owl siblings. As I spent time alone in their presence, they gradually grew to trust me, allowing me to capture their unique interactions.
In this image titled "Boys Will Be Boys," the owl on the right embodies a sense of calm, peacefully perched on its branch, soaking in the final rays of daylight. However, its tranquility is disrupted by the boisterous arrival of its brother. With wings flapping and a chorus of playful complaints, the energetic sibling brings an unexpected surge of energy to the scene.
The owl on the right, caught off guard, gazes in a mix of mild exasperation and affectionate bemusement. It's a moment that encapsulates the essence of brotherhood, highlighting the spirited nature of their bond and the playful dynamics that come with it.
Through this image, I aim to celebrate the timeless adage "Boys Will Be Boys," a phrase that captures the universal experiences of sibling relationships, where love, camaraderie, and occasional disruptions intertwine.
"Boys Will Be Boys" serves as a fitting title, inviting viewers to reflect on their own memories of sibling connections and the joyous complexities that accompany them.
THE ARTIST
My name is Hendro Soetrisno, and I am an artist who brings vision to life through my photography. None of my work involves AI; everything is handcrafted. I am not just an animal photographer; I consider myself a visual storyteller and fine artist, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
I believe that every image I create should evoke a sense of awe and inspiration, taking my audience on a journey to a world they've never experienced before. To achieve this, I'm not afraid of spending months waiting for the right moment, and even dedicating over 100 hours to post-production for many of my works. During this meticulous process, I refine every detail, ensuring that the final image matches the vivid scenes of my imagination.
My creative process is a labor of love, with handcrafted precision and attention to detail being my hallmarks. In the world of post-production, I experiment extensively with colors, shapes, and textures to create captivating visual narratives that stir emotions and captivate the viewer's imagination. Every image is a work of art that transcends the boundaries of reality and invites viewers to experience a world of wonder.
Drawing inspiration from the enchantment found in children's books and the captivating allure of animations, I am constantly exploring the power of colors and shapes to convey emotions and tell stories. Countless hours of practice and refinement have gone into honing my craft, allowing me to create awe-inspiring and thought-provoking works of art that defy convention.
Through my artistic creations and keen observations of the world around me, my ultimate goal is to transport viewers to extraordinary worlds, where the boundaries of imagination and reality blur. With each artistic piece, I aspire to inspire and evoke a sense of wonder, leaving a lasting impression on those who engage with my work.
In my artistic journey, I invest my heart and soul into each step of the creative process. From envisioning the concept to capturing the perfect moment with my camera, I strive to capture the essence of the subjects in a way that transcends mere representation. The real magic happens during post-production, where I meticulously refine and enhance every aspect of the image, ensuring that it aligns with my artistic vision.
Colors play a pivotal role in my work. I see them as a language of emotions, capable of eliciting profound feelings and setting the mood of an image. With careful precision, I delicately manipulate hues, saturations, and contrasts, weaving a tapestry of vibrant tones that breathe life into my compositions. Through my thoughtful use of colors, I aim to create a visual symphony that resonates with viewers on a deep, emotional level.
Beyond the technical aspects, my fine art is driven by a desire to spark curiosity and ignite the imagination. I believe in the power of storytelling, and every image I create is infused with a narrative that invites viewers to embark on their own personal journey of interpretation. Whether it's capturing the essence of a fleeting moment, the majesty of the natural world, or the beauty found in the mundane, I seek to uncover hidden stories and share them with the world.
My artistic process is a labor of love and dedication. It requires patience, perseverance, and a constant thirst for growth. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of my creativity, continuously evolving as an artist, and finding new ways to express my unique perspective through my work.
Ultimately, my greatest joy comes from the connection forged between my art and those who experience it. I hope to transport viewers to extraordinary worlds, where the familiar becomes extraordinary and the ordinary becomes sublime. By sharing my artistic vision, I aim to inspire and awaken a sense of wonder in others, encouraging them to see the world through fresh eyes and embrace the beauty that surrounds us all.
