Jean Luc Mylayne

by Terrie Sultan, Lynne Cooke, Jean Luc Mylayne (Illustrator)

For more than thirty years, Jean Luc Mylayne has been photographing the birds of his native France. The creation of each image is a laborious process which can take months as Mylayne returns to the same location, day after day, waiting for his "actors", the birds, to play their parts before his lense. Mylayne asserts that the birds - he particularly focuses on bluebirds indigenous to Western Europe and the Western United States - are willing participants in the making of the picture. This is Jean Luc Mylayne's first book, and will accompany a U.S. exhibition.

Love to play "find the bird" in these photos!

Don't recall when I heard of him, 2017 is just a guess.
