The Spirit of Birds  |  Robert Broughton

A Coffee Table Book That Explores the Ethereal Spirit and Grace of Birds Set Against the Immutable Beauty of the Land

Building upon the selection of images exhibited at The Mall Galleries, London (Sept 24), this book includes additional images, reflections, and an essay that invites readers on a visual and narrative journey, exploring the beauty, symbolism, and wisdom embodied by avian life.

A Visual Journey

With each page, immerse yourself in the ethereal landscapes and delicate moments Robert has captured through his lens. From the rugged cliffs of East Yorkshire to the mountainous landscape of Cumbria, these photographs are more than just images; they are meditations on nature’s splendour. Witness the intricate dance of birds in flight, the silent resilience of the landscape, and the timeless interplay between land and sky.

Thought-Provoking Essay and Reflections

Accompanying the photographs are Robert’s reflections behind each image and a contemplative essay, offering insights into his artistic influences and work. His reflections delve deep into the themes of freedom, connection, and transcendence, inviting readers to slow down and reconnect with the natural world. Each reflection is a stepping stone toward understanding our place within the complex ecosystem we inhabit.
