Luke Stephenson, a British photographer based in London, has over the last two years been photographing the diverse and colourful world of the show-bird. In a series titled "Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds" Stephenson has entered into a peculiar colourful world, hidden from the plain light of day. Stephenson works primarily in the format of portraiture, however as this series has shown, his definition and understanding of the genre is very broad. His work reminds one of the old fashioned naturalists cataloguing of new species, however his balance of colour lends the photographs with a playful sense of the character of the individual subjects.
