A compelling visual anthology of one of photography’s most
popular subjects, reframing our understanding of why we photograph
animals and why photographing them matters to us and the planet.
A visual overview of the history and future of animal photography, Why
We Photograph Animals encourages us to think and rethink the way we
have looked at - and used - animals and to consider our future
relationships with non-human species.
Multi-stranded, this book features the work of more than 100
photographers supported by thematic essays that provide historical
context; interviews with and contributions by leading contemporary
photographers that explore their influences, methods and motivations;
and dazzling visual collections that present the very best animal
photography from its inception to the present day. The result is a book
that will engage those with an interest in wildlife photography and the
natural world, but also those with a concern for the future of the
planet.
Huw Lewis-Jones’s expert authorship and curation celebrates
extraordinary images by brilliant photographers, but also allows us to
understand why people have photographed animals at different points in
history and what it means in the present. Why We Photograph Animals is
deliberately not a conventional history of wildlife photography. It’s
an exploration of the animal in photography. It speaks to our ongoing
desire to look at animals; to understand, misunderstand and appreciate
them; to use and abuse them; to neglect or come to value and protect
them.
