Revealing
the Invisible

Catalonia, Spain One of the species I’ve worked with the most, due to the complexity of their flight, is the starling. After sunset, these birds usually gather to roost, whether in cities or wetlands, and in this case, a reed bed. When a falcon appeared at that moment, the starlings reacted with this hypnotic and extraordinarily complex flight that leaves no one unmoved.

Words and Images by Justin Black

Those who eschew social media may not have noticed the deluge of AI-generated landscape and nature images to be found online these days. Guided by prompts provided by the human “creator” that describe what the image content and style should be, these AI-spawned images are often created with the intent of producing maximum impact, “wow-factor,” and generation of “likes and shares,” though the scenes they depict commonly depart from the realistically plausible or possible in significant ways.
