Name:  Pax

Photographer Notes:   Although he looks like a white dove, Pax is actually a white homing pigeon.  White pigeons are what are generally used in ceremonies to symbolize peace and what most people think of when they see a white dove.  I photographed Pax on a small French farm and he was very challenging.  We would set him down with some birdseed and I’d capture 1-2 frames and then he’d take off.  I knew I wanted a simple clean profile so that’s the shot we focused on in our limited time.
