Pictures of animals are now ubiquitous, but the ability to capture
animals on film was a significant challenge in the early era of
photography. In Developing Animals, Matthew Brower takes us back to
the time when Americans started taking pictures of the animal
kingdom, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the moment when
photography became a mass medium and wildlife photography an
increasingly popular genre. Developing Animals compellingly
investigates the way photography changed our perception of animals.
Brower analyzes how photographers created new ideas about animals
as they moved from taking pictures of taxidermic specimens in
so-called natural settings to the emergence of practices such as
camera hunting, which made it possible to capture images of
creatures in the wild. By combining approaches in visual cultural
studies and the history of photography, Developing Animals goes
further to argue that photography has been essential not only to
the understanding of wildlife but also to the conceptual separation
of humans and animals.
