Since 2011, Andrew McGibbon has been photographing various animals in studio settings, removed from their native context. His most recent project, “Slitherstition” is a series of photographs of more than 30 snakes photographed at close range in front of bright, colorful backgrounds. McGibbon’s pictures, which tread somewhere between commercial portraits and scientific typologies, dispel the snakes’ historically evil mythologies, disarming them into pure design elements and vibrant eye candy.
