102 Photos of the Boys and the Birds

The very talented Walter Jenkel manages to capture the wild part of the young men he photographs, while simultaneously taming a variety of beasts and insects in the hands of his subjects. His images define a time in a young man's life of long summer afternoons, being in nature, and awakening to the natural world. Walter was born in Stuttgart, Germany and currently lives in Barcelona, Spain. His photographs appear in magazines and advertising all over the world. But his personal work is best seen on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr.
