For more than thirty years, Jean Luc Mylayne has been photographing the birds of his native France and the American West. The creation of each image is a laborious process which can take months as Mylayne returns to the same location, day after day. Mylayne asserts that the birds, he particularly focuses on bluebirds, are willing actors in the making of the picture.
"When I see a bird, I see at the same time that bird on a tree near the house. I see everything as an ensemble, and I realize that's how I see everything in life." ā Jean Luc Mylayne
