Mark Laita
Unfortunatly I have been unable to find much information about this artist himself but I managed to find information about this project he started at the begining of 2011 and finnished it at the close of the year.
Mark Laita has been traveling to various locations around the U.S. and Central America photographing some of the world’s most deadliest snakes, a series entitled Serpentine. Of the project he says:
"The sensual attractiveness of snakes, which coexists with their threatening, unpredictable and mysterious nature is truly unique. This dichotomy, in which their beauty seems to be heightened by their danger, and vice-versa, is what I find so fascinating. Add to these contradictions the rich symbolism of serpents and you have a wonderfully compelling subject."
Laita works with collectors, breeders, zoos, and even anti-venom labs who let him photograph their snake collections.
