Orphan Gorilla, Chimpanzee, Bonobo And Orangutan Portraits
The beautiful and amazing photography book: James Mollison: James & Other Apes contains 50 portraits of Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Bonobos And Orangutans. The book was written by Jane Goodall!
The extreme close-up portraits are the main attraction of the book, without too much distracting text. The lack of background for these types of portraits ensures that the face is able to convey the maximum emotional message.
Many of the animals are orphans, and their biographies at the end of the book may invoke an even closer personal connection with the faces. These stories are often unhappy but the portraits convey a strong feeling of hope and the universal resilience life has against adversity or negative forces.
This book is a great purchase or gift for any fan of animal and or portrait photography!
