Beautiful Pigeons: Portraits of Champion Breeds

• Used Book in Good Condition

<div><p>The <I>Beautiful </I>series has featured sheep, pigs, cows and chickens. Now pigeons strut forward to be given the studio treatment by a leading portrait photographer.</p><p>Capturing over 40 of the world's most remarkable fancy pigeon breeds, <I>Beautiful Pigeons</I> displays these gloriously over-the-top birds as you've never seen them before. Pigeons aren't usually thought of as photographic stars, but this line-up of gorgeous models, stylishly lit and shot against studio backgrounds, will enlighten, delight, and astound in equal measure.  Each photograph is accompanied by a directory entry on the breed, covering information on its origins, physical attributes, and uses.  A succinct introduction explains the history of pigeons and provides an insight into the show scene, while reportage photography offes a "behind the scenes' glimpse of the stars as they prepare for their turn in front of the photographer's lens.</p></div>
