Piece description from the artist
Location: Jupiter Island, Florida 2019
While photographing the landscape at Blowing Rocks Natural Preserve, I came across a Little Blue Heron. As I looked for compositions, he kept sneaking into my frame. I thought to myself, "This bird sure loves attention." So after securing some images of this surreal landscape, I focused my lens on this lively feathered fellow. I named him "Hotshot" after watching him walk around with measured confidence.
I decided to go black and white with this image for two reasons. First, Hotshot's stance created a dynamic shape that I felt needed full attention. Second, I wanted to focus on contrast to help the eyes focus on the details.
*Composite photo: I like to associate my bird photography with clouds, so I often use interesting skies I photograph to composite a more pleasing image.

In 2015, Sanzei made the deliberate choice to immerse himself in the world of photography, a decision that would profoundly shape his creative path. For him, photography is more than a medium; it is a sanctuary, a meditative practice that offers solace and a deeper understanding of the world. It is not merely about making images but about exploring the essence of existence—seizing those fleeting, often unnoticed moments that hold the quiet magic of life.
