CNY Gift Guide & Giveaways: Bear Portraits
15 February 2010
Bear Portraits (Little, Brown & Co/ Nov 2009) is a beautiful ‘coffee table’ book full of photographs by Jill Greenberg that you have to see to believe. The cute guy on the front cover is rather deceiving compared to what you can find inside.Her previous ‘animal’ book was Monkey Portraits. In Bear Portraits, Greenberg “…seeks to capture the awe that they inspire…” and capture that she does.
Because these are trained bears, she is able to get up much more close and personal than we would normally be able to see them. The close ups are absolutely astonishing and the details are crisp and clear. There are shots of bears including Polar, Brown, Kodiak, Black and Grizzly bears.
This book sheds such a unique light on these fearsome and amazing animals that this book is truly a find for photographers and animal enthusiasts alike.
The book can be found at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and local stores near you. It retails for approximately $27.
