A photographic barrel of fire - original photographssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography5 years ago

There's nothing quite like a fire to warm the soul on a someday of the night week. In this case, it was a birthday party for a recently turned thirteen year old. Their drone (a recently received gift) - stuck somewhere up a tree - we decided to light a small bonfire inside an old washing machine barrel. It was good fun, and make for some amazing photographic opportunity, which I decided to seize upon.

The thirteen year-old, drone, nor any wild-life was harmed in the taking of these photos. They are some of my favorites from my trip. I love photographing fire.

There's something very primal and untamed about these shots, the contrast of having a male figure so close to bare flame, and the relationship of this between evolution, man, fire, and our accumulated history of the three things combined make me enjoy these photos and something more profound than a man setting up a fire and watching it burn.
