Simon The Stuffa
Simon the Stuffer is a documentary photography project centred around Simon, a taxidermist whose work explores the relationship between nature, preservation, and craftsmanship. Through a series of observational portraits and environmental images, the project offers an insight into Simon's unique profession and the meticulous processes involved in his practice.
The project aims to move beyond common perceptions of taxidermy, focusing instead on the skill, patience, and dedication required to preserve animals and tell their stories. By documenting Simon within his workspace, surrounded by tools, specimens, and works in progress, the images reveal both the technical and personal aspects of his craft.
