"One need not ponder whether Birds:Poetry in the Sky is more a bird book or an art book:it fits each category.But whatever shelf it belongs on is really irrelevant its enough to say that the book is magnificent."10,000 Birds

"...This is photographic art of birds where they live and where humans must watch in awe."Wildlife Australia
The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as well.

The camera is my brush, is how he describes his style. His photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty speak for itself which is why he forgoes any image editing. He was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of hummingbirds wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the air.

The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its colourful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops.
