Individual feathers and beady eyes glint in the light in Marvin Heinzel’s up-close bird portraits. Capturing high-resolution details of a wide range of avians, from diminutive European robins to elegant swans, the Brandenburg-based photographer illuminates expressive features and coloring with a level of detail we don’t typically have the opportunity to experience in the wild.
