The Large Black pig is a rare breed and is Britain’s only all black pig. I photographed these piglets on a smallholding in Essex, where they live in a huge enclosure. The adults have distinctive floppy ears that cover their eyes, making them them a challenge to photograph! The piglets were very interested in the camera so I used a wide angle lens to get close to them and show their character, as well as include some of the environment. The pigs will eat anything, including my flash diffuser.
