Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dan Burn Forti, 44, is a London-based photographer whose work ranges from ad campaigns to celebrity portraits. His series of animal portraits are showcased here. "It started by accident when I was asked to shoot a series by Esquire 15 years ago," he says. "People photograph animals as if they are celebrating an idealised vision, but they all have personalities, so I approach them as individual portraits rather than generic shots of a breed.
"I shot Macy [pictured right] at the Supreme Cat Show in Birmingham. There's something about this wired-up look she has: Macy had been prodded, squeezed and pulled all day and she was fairly knackered and pissed off, which I think comes across in her expression."
