# Majestic Raptor Photography The Patagonia Birds of Prey Book Examines Relationship of Man and Bird By Meghan Young | Published 2014-07-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-birds-of-prey References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2014/7/patagonia-releases-birds-of-prey-book) & [patagonia](http://www.patagonia.com) The Patagonia Birds of Prey book gives people a striking look into the unique relationship between man and bird. For those who have seen the bird performance at Medieval Times and thinks they have an idea of what the sport entails, this collection of photography is eye-opening. Shot on location in open deserts and home sanctuaries, the Patagonia Birds of Prey book chronicles "a topic dear to founder Yvon Chouinard," according to [Hypebeast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordan-clarkson). Focusing in particular on "the birds of prey that have helped — and in some instances continue to help — man hunt for food," it features "the Kazakh eagle hunters in Western Mongolia, falconer Shawn Hayes in the Eastern Sierra region, and the release of Andean condors in Chile." The book is a visual treat for animal lovers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Birds of Prey Relationship:** Trend in exploring the unique and intimate relationship between man and birds of prey through visual media and storytelling - **Wildlife Photography Books:** Increasing trend in publishing high-quality books showcasing unique locations and wildlife, prompting innovation opportunities for book publishers and nature photographers - **Cultural Heritage:** The Patagonia Birds of Prey book highlights the importance of cultural heritage and the preservation of traditional practices as a trend for businesses in the travel and tourism industry to consider ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Publishing:** Opportunity for publishing companies to create high-quality wildlife photography books that appeal to animal lovers and travel enthusiasts alike - **Nature Photography:** Opportunity for nature photographers to create stunning visual representations of wildlife that showcase unique locations and cultural practices - **Travel and Tourism:** Opportunity for tour operators and travel agencies to create cultural tours that support and celebrate traditional practices while showcasing the beauty of wildlife in different parts of the world ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [Environmental Film Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-films.md) - [Smart Hummingbird Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feathersnap-hummingbird-feeder.md) - [Outerwear Brand Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pajar-zig-zag.md) - [Surfing-Focused Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raymond-pettibon-1.md) - [Vibrant Bird-Inspired Artful Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macar-parrot.md) - [Skateboard-Themed Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-1.md) - [Revolutionary Bird-Watching Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolutionized-smart-nest-box-nest-box-live-has-built-a-device-showing-bird.md) - [Design Journey Picture Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thedownunder.md)
