Catherine Ledner has photographed a wide variety of subjects, “cats to kids, celebrities to orangutans,” as she states on her website. Her “Wild Animals” series includes a kangaroo, a raccoon, a turtle, an owl, a lion and many more. But Ledner told PDN via email, “Of all the animals I’ve photographed, the turkey proved to be the most illusive. We had to chase the turkey all over my studio. It kept getting out of the pen and the handlers resorted to running around in circles. We finally got it done. When all the animals left for the day I found turkey feathers everywhere.”

Happy Thanksgiving.
