The photography showcased on allegoriesinlight.com attempts to tell a story by revealing the subjects’ true character through the viewer. A chipmunk on a rock may appear lost in thought, or a bird might tilt its head as if to question our gaze. Insects appear as gluttons, and big-horned sheep as bored pedestrians. Landscapes overshadowed by clouds may appear threatening, while dangerous critters reflect perfect calm.
As humans taking in the natural world, we can’t help but anthropomorphize all we see. In doing so, we see how creatures, environments, and objects come to personify us – our hopes, dreams, thoughts, and fears.
