Translocation


 This photography project that took Scottish photographer George Logan five years to create, puts African wildlife in quite different backdrops and has been published as a book with all proceeds going to the Born Free Foundation.

The backdrops of the images are mainly taken in Cornwall and Scotland, whilst Logan travelled all around Africa to get the shots of the wildlife in their natural habitat.

Although most of the images have quite obviously been superimposed; the detail can be a bit too precise, or some of the images have been edited so much they look like computer created graphics, I think the idea behind the project is ingenious. The idea of taking something and putting it somewhere else unexpected is really interesting, and I can understand why people would want to buy the book, whether it was for charity or not.
