“There are many recognised criteria to breeding a prize winning bird, from shape and form to its pattern.”
Stephenson’s photography explores and celebrates the particular psyche of ‘Britishness’ often to comic effect. His Incomplete Dictionary of Show Birds seeks to catalogue the seemingly eccentric sub-culture of exotic show bird competition.
Luke Stephenson was born in 1983 in Darlington, North East England. Since graduating, he has exhibited widely around the world and featured in major publications.
