Wild Beasts: Photographs

by Nicolas Bruant (Photographer)

French fashion and commercial photographer Nicolas Bruant has spent the past twenty years pursuing his photographing African wildlife. By abandoning the glamour of his trade, he succeeds in capturing the mysterious allure of the animals on film. Whether it is the slender menace of a lone snake, a hapless rabbit caught in the jaws of a ruthless crocodile, or simply a mud-caked hippopotamus wallowing in the afternoon sun, Bruant's black-and-white photography, with its startling close-ups, unusual compositions, and delicate plays of light and dark, evokes the very essence of these exciting creatures.
Including a thoughtful introduction by John Heminway, a preface and insightful anecdotes by Nicolas Bruant, plus detailed, informative captions for every animal featured, Wild Beasts offers a rare and compelling encounter with some of the world's most magnificent, yet imperiled, wildlife.

This book is definitely longer than one page. No one would just print one page in a nice hardcover book. There is a great introduction by John Hemingway. The photographs by Nicolas Bruant are so amazing! I especially love the photographs of the zebras. At the end there is a nice index telling you where each image was taken.
