Award-winning photographer Tim Flach has spent years inquiring into the essential bond we have with animals. Now he presents the culmination of a career-long endeavor, an extraordinary body of work in which each image is more striking and powerful than the last.Just as did Flachs highly acclaimed previous books, Equus and Dogs, More than Human will amaze and inspire, in a constant affirmation of the animal, whether it be rare or common, powerful or defenseless, odd or majestic. The book showcases a menagerie of creatures-pandas, tigers, bats, lions, orangutans, cobras, bullfrogs, chimpanzees, wolves, porcupines, elephants, owls, armadillos, among many others-as they have never been seen before. Shedding light on Flachs images will be an accessible collection of texts, written and edited by author Lewis Blackwell.Praise for More Than Human:A gallery of animal portraits that are unlike anything weve seen before. -The Wall Street JournalHis technique is impeccable; this is one of the most gorgeous photography books of the year.
