Portrait of a Red Fox

Description

It wasn’t until recently that I had the opportunity to photograph red foxes for the first time. I spent a few late summer evenings observing them in a suburb of Ottawa, Canada. Red foxes are common where I live, but every other encounter I’ve had with one has been fleeting, and always when I didn’t have my camera with me. This was definitely a highlight in my journey as a photographer. There were four of them at one point, energetically chasing each other and roughhousing. I watched as this particular fox playfully rolled around in the grass, tugging at some of the longer pieces. It sat there briefly with a piece hanging from its mouth.
