In the midnight hour

摘要

Ready to explore the dark side of life? Nocturnal animals have been around for hundreds of millions of years, and today they make up around half of all mammal species, but because most of us are active during the day we rarely encounter these night dwellers. Artist and photographer Traer Scott has bridged that gap, capturing images of 42 animals that become active at night. Inspiration came from a children's book belonging to her daughter in which a boy takes the moon for a walk at night. "There were illustrations of moths and bats - and it occurred to me that no one has done a collection of photos exploring the whole family, so to speak, of nocturnal animals," she says.
