Photographs that maximized the beauty of colorful snakes

There are about 3000 species in the worldA snakeIt is said that there are people, but only a few of which are dangerous animals for human beings. However, due to the influence of culture and religion, snakes are probably animals that tend to embrace images such as "scary" "dangerous" "evil".

The series 'Serpens' by photographer Guido Mocafico who wishes to purge the minus image of such a snake and wish to rediscover the attractiveness of this interesting animal is also a serpent who is not a snake, It is a work with impact that seems to strike me with the beauty of my work force.
