Maggie Mckinnon, 'Pure focus' (ANIMALS 2021)

The art of pure focus. Its a strange thing. Its a strange thing because you never truly know what something means or what something is telling you. This is Eddie. Eddie is a kelpie puppy. He's funny and very playful and nails the art of pure focus. Whether he is chasing a ball or rounding up the sheep he always has pure focus and poise. As his owners we are never quite sure what he is thinking or what his next move is going to be. This photograph,entitled " pure focus" was taken on our family farm in South Australia and it depicts Eddie staring intensely standing out of the back of the ute. The photo has basic editing and a black and white filter has been added to promote depth and to emphasise the feeling of pure focus found on Eddies face.
