You wouldn’t imagine something so plump could move so swiftly and with such grace. If you can run like this, there’s really no need to take flight. Plus, their feather coloration and patterning just puts a grin on your face. I love everything about these birds!

Run Like The Wind pays homage to these magnificent creatures. I wanted to capture the fluidity and reckless abandon in the guinea fowl’s movement. They almost give the appearance of being airborne while still on terra firma.
