Jan Piecha says:
For several years now, I have been working on a photo project about raccoons with a friend. The photo of the female and her offspring was also taken in this context. I observed the family for many days and the female was not shy towards me, which is why I had the chance to document intimate insights into her family life. I didn’t use a flash to take the photo.

I started taking nature photography as a teenager. During my studies in environmental planning, it was always a good complement and the experiences influenced each other positively. My photography doesn’t always follow a clear line. I like to work on specific series classically, but I also like to develop myself creatively.
