About this work

This is a close-up photo of a badger lying on its side. Its fur looks thick and shaggy, blending into the earthy brown dirt it’s resting on. The animal’s head is tucked near its body, and its front paw is stretched out. The photo feels quiet and natural, like a snapshot of wildlife. The lighting is soft, making the badger’s fur and the ground look almost one color. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
