As delightful as it is thought-provoking, Creature is the first book of up-and-coming photographer Andrew Zuckerman''s striking studio portraits of wild animals from around the world. Shot against white backgrounds, 200 wild creatures-from leopards to parrots, bears to baboons-are depicted with a rare sensitivity, insight, humour and wonder. The portraits of baby animals are particularly appealing. These astonishing images will appeal to animal and nature lovers, photography fans and anyone interested in the world around us and its many fragile, natural wonders. The book will also be of interest from an environmental perspective, as more and more people become concerned with preserving the natural world against such threats as climate change.
