Pop Photo: Traer Scott's Creatures of the Night



A photographer captures dozens of nocturnal animals using and not much more than a DSLR, a hot-shoe flash, and a DIY cardboard studio



I’m fond of saying that the idea for this series, Nocturne, came to me just after midnight. But in truth my inspiration came from daily life: reading about the moon with my young daughter, watching a silly cartoon about vampire bats, and contemplating some moths I happened to spot. I became smitten with the concept of presenting a sort of family album—a collection of intimate portraits featuring species ranging from bugs to big cats, all with one common denominator: their nocturnal behavior.
