Julia Fullerton-batten, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This photographic work by Julia Fullerton-Batten captures a surreal scene along a river bank featuring multiple men dressed in traditional sailor attire, comprising striped t-shirts and white trousers. In the foreground, a prominent man holds a large swan in his arms while standing in shallow water, surrounded by other swans roaming freely. Several other men in the background are positioned near small boats, engaging with the surrounding wildlife and landscape under the shade of overhanging willow trees. The natural daylight highlights the textured river stones, water surface, and fabric details of the costumes. The composition blends theatrical staging with a naturalistic river setting.
