Photographer Nine Francois has devised a variety of techniques to be able to get extremely close to her animal subjects without startling them. From this vantage point, the animal’s environment seemingly disappears, and Francois is immersed in the essence of the creature she is photographing. By shooting from below she is able to achieve unusual perspectives that are then placed on a stark white background.

“At some point in their creation, I tweak them to make them mine – to take them out of fact and reportage and place them into the service of expression and exploration.”

This large piece, placed over our client's monochromatically-styled console, creates the perfect black-and-white "moment" and provides a welcome contrast to the large colorful artwork placed throughout the rest of the home.

Featured artwork: Nine Francois (American), Zebra I, 2010. Archival pigment print, Signed by the artist, 44 x 44 inches.
