Horatio Ross was a Scottish photographer who specialized in "collodion" photography, which involved using a light-sensitive solution to capture images on glass plates. His work often depicted rural landscapes, hunting scenes, and portraits. This photograph, “[Hunters Stalking a Deer]” (1857), showcases his mastery of the medium and his focus on capturing the natural world. The image, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, shows a stag lying in the brush, with hunters perched on a hill in the distance. This composition highlights Ross's ability to capture a moment of suspense and the raw beauty of the natural world.
