Seagulls may be the rodents of the air, but Gemma McKay shows a much more majestic side of these rather detestable and annoying birds. Capturing them in flight with a bright blue sky as their backdrop, the Manchester-based photographer has put together a beautiful portfolio.
Considering that there are so many other interesting, exotic and overall pleasant feathery creatures to capture, Gemma McKay has shown that there is beauty even in the ordinary. Next time I see a seagull, perhaps I won't shoo it away so quickly.
