Buck Shots (Paperback)

~ Peter Sutherland (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In 2002, Peter Sutherland photographed his first deer: a large buck with a big rack, seen peering through a clearing in the trees. The photo appears as though Sutherland, on the trail of this elusive animal, is an avid nature photographer whose only game is of the furry kind, and who might have spent days tracking it through the rough terrain of Rocky Mountains. But that’s not quite how it went down. In fact, Sutherland saw the deer through a window in his mother’s Colorado kitchen, picked up his camera, walked outdoors, and snapped a few shots before going back inside. Sutherland doesn't hunt but he understands the thrill of the chase. For Buck Shots, his third powerHouse Book, Sutherland traveled through Colorado, California, Utah, Washington, Canada, and New Zealand over the course of five years. Shooting these delicate but wild animals and their environs, Sutherland enjoyed an amateur’s approach to naturalism, observing and interacting with them on many occasions, as fascinated by watching them as he was with them watching him.
