Here are the results from a recently completed shoot with the unique Shivabel. I was particularly interested in Shivabel’s love for these awesome insects, the Madagascan hissing Cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa) It’s all to easy to distance ourselves from creatures so different to our own biology and I wanted these images to hint at our connectedness - we’re all made from the same matter at the end of the day.. It was great working with these tough African insects - they literally hiss angrily at you when you pick them up. We had to keep them on ice to keep their movement slow and to stop them from crawling all over the shot. You’ll be pleased to know that they all survived the shoot and are now living a comfortable life in Shivabel’s care somewhere near the in Swiss/ Italian Border. Thanks also go out to Kari for all the assistance on the day. ‘To live’ Brad
