Piper

The story behind "Piper" photoshoot

Few weeks ago I did a photo session on North Bull Island Nature Reserve with sanderlings, small birds which run along sea line to catch their food. That evening weather was great with lovely "gold hour" lighting, so it was perfect to make some good shots!

In 2016 Pixar made an awesome animated short movie "Piper" telling story of a baby sandpiper which makes her first run on the sea line and finds new friends. www.pixar.com/piper

So, I called this photo session Piper in honor of this movie!

And finding a little bite!

When I showed pictures to my friends, one of my ex-collogue showed them at her work and made a great pixelated logo! It's made with a special generative AI network and finalized by professional pixel-art artist!

Here is the story of one photoshoot made in Dublin, Ireland at North Bull Island Nature Reserve, a small island which becomes a temporary home for millions of migrating birds from all over the world.
