Ross Harried: Website | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube My Modern Met granted permission to feature photos by Ross Harried. He installed camera trap triggers and receivers and housed everything in weatherproof cases. “Compositionally I couldn’t have composed the image/animal better myself.” Harried built his camera trap using an old Cannon DSLR camera outfitted with secondhand lens and flashes. “I had no idea the flashes from the trap would capture the fox's intrigue and it would pose so beautifully on the rocks,” he tells My Modern Met. The results are beautiful the images look like something out of a storybook. I was after a spot for the girls where the light would be soft and even. That was just a dirt road next to the studio. It shows where I was shooting, and at what angle. The curious fox was clearly watching me, or at the very least stalked/knew about my presence and my reward was some stunning images!” Photographer Ross Harried recently unveiled a series featuring an inquisitive fox that had wandered close to his homemade camera trap. Here’s her tutorial on how to turn a simple photo into a scene from a storybook: First of all here is a behind-the-scenes image taken by one of the Mums. To come away with this set of images, a mere hour after I left the trap in the wild still blows my mind. “I had built this thing over a year ago and only got ‘snapshots’ to say the least. “These photos went way above my expectations,” he explains. The interior incorporates artifacts of another era, with reclaimed wood, doors and hardware. This residence manages to offer spectacular ocean views while being safely tucked into a richly textured landscape. Harried was ecstatic when he saw the results. Storybook SV Design Designed to resemble a 200 year old cottage, this house conveys a sense of history and evokes images of fairytales. Compositionally I couldn’t have composed the image/animal better myself.” “I had no idea the flashes from the trap would capture the fox's intrigue and it would pose so beautifully on the rocks. He used that knowledge to position the trap to face the rocks, all in hopes of getting the creature walking between them. Harried followed their tracks in the snow. “I had scouted the area on a tip two days prior and saw five different foxes in the area,” he tells My Modern Met, “and I was familiar with them as I had shot them in the summertime.” It was successful, in part, thanks to Harried's research. This setup doesn’t last too long when the temperatures dip below freezing, but it was enough to snap the recent wildlife images.
