Los Angeles Photographer Susie Loucks Captures Birds in Frozen Flight Dynamics

Susie Loucks photographs seagulls, pelicans, and other marina dwelling bird-life with stunning precision and beauty.  The backgrounds in her images are often desaturated–or removed altogether–to emphasize the natural beauty of the subject.  No digital enhancements are made on her flighty subjects.

“Collision”, 6×6 Photographic Print

Focusing on wild animals in motion can be a challenge, compelling Loucks to spend innumerable hours photographing.  However, her determination to capture these birds in action yields high quality images, revealing the variety of forms they display as they live their lives in the air.

The time Loucks spends photographing our natural world has allowed her to expand her knowledge, awareness and respect for the world we live in.

Los Angeles hybrid-gallery ALTERED SPACE GALLERY features a variety of photographic prints by Susie Loucks, each sealed in an acid-free sleeve and ready for shipping.  These affordable, but no less elegant, photographic prints make great gifts for those who enjoy the mystique of nature’s movements.
