Mother Swan’s Favorite Cygnet Rides on Her Back

In this tender scene captured by Duncan Rawlinson, a mother swan glides across gentle blue waters with her brood, while one fortunate cygnet claims a special spot on her back.

Set in the tranquil beauty of Canada’s 1000 Islands, this image captures both the protective instinct of a parent and the warmth of belonging, as the mother swan keeps her cherished cygnet close amidst the calm ripples.

Order Flow Abyss

Duncan Rawlinson’s series is a deep dive into the heart of Wall Street’s complex mechanisms, mirrored by the primal essence of the ocean’s depths. Utilizing advanced AI imaging alongside traditional photography, Rawlinson probes the unseen layers of the financial world, translating terms like ‘order book’ and ‘limit order’ into visual narratives. Each image pulses with the undercurrents of trading floors and the silent yet fierce competition of the stock exchange, much like the silent hunt of sharks in the blue abyss. This series is an exploration into the powerful forces that drive the market, just as they drive the marine ecosystem, through Rawlinson’s innovative visual storytelling.
