Peacock is a photographic by Zoological Photographic Club, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a peacock standing in what looks like a grassy or rocky area. The bird’s feathers fan out wide, with intricate patterns of dark spots and wavy lines. Its head and neck are small compared to the huge, showy tail. The photo is in black and white, which makes the textures stand out—each feather looks almost three-dimensional. The lighting is soft, highlighting the peacock’s feathers while keeping the background blurry. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
A mounted photograph of a peacock is included in an album with museum numbers ranging from 3250:1-2023 to 3250:39-2023.
