I have a curious relationship with sheep, I usually bring the dogs with me when I’m out in the pasture, lately, I’ve tried to spend more time with the sheep by myself and with my camera. I want to take better photos of them. So they need to trust me. It’s working.

They are getting more comfortable with me, and I can now stand close to them while they eat in the feeder, they are at their most primal then.  I let them sniff my camera and see it.

I love their heads and the detail of their wool coats. They manage to rush the food without every running over or into one another. Their eating is focused and intense, there is something quite wild about it, even though they are being fed in a feeder. I have a wide angle lens that is small and can get close to them.

Their energy is infectious. Eating with them is a kind of scrum, I like it.
