LUKE STEPHENSON - An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds

An Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds’ is a book by British photographer Luke Stephenson in collaboration with the London based design studio YES. It is an exceptional project displaying show birds through a series of meticulous and striking photographs. 

‘The project began with a very simple idea, that I wanted to photograph budgies. I met a great deal of people who were very knowledgeable about their hobby and only too happy to share it with me. Their enthusiasm became infectious so that by simply photographing a species I felt I was adding it to my collection.’
