About Artist

Dilla Djalil Daniel

As a documentary photographer who also happens to be an animal lover, my main motivation has been to explore the different facets of the relationship between mankind and the animal kingdom. What speaks to me most is trying to capture the mysterious forms of communication that can and do exist between us. I tend to spend a considerable amount of time portraying domestic and wild animals in the form of a photographic narrative. It is most certainly not just a matter of trying to capture images of animals looking cute. The relationship between animals and humans is complex even if there is a dependency with domesticated animals, in contrast with animals in the wild whose existence is threatened by human presence or activities. What I find particularly poignant is that the relationship between animals and humans moves from outright abuse to love and dependency. Domestic and an increasing number of wild animals can and do benefit from compassionate and loving intervention by humans. A great part of my work attempts to depict this in action. The people involved are often rather under appreciated but it does not affect their devotion and passion in helping their charges by trying to improve their welfare and health. My intention is to try and create a photographic narrative on behalf of the animals and those who care for them.
