The Family Album Of Wild Africa
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Many have tried to convey the true spirit of Africa's animals in words, photography, or in music. There may be no challenge greater; Africa's fauna are vast in number and rich in diversity. In this finely crafted collection, French photographer Laurent Baheux uses the medium of black-and-white photography to capture the intricate details of both the wondrous beasts and the magnificent settings in which they dwell. This wide-ranging volume lays particular emphasis on his subjects' individual spirits--revealing all of their vulnerability while losing nothing of their raw vitality. Every photograph is so carefully composed and well lit that the details equal the evocative precision of an Old Masters portrait. Through Baheux's eyes we get close to the creatures that will both inspire and humble us all.

Absolutely the most incredible book I have ever seen! The photos are amazing and truly capture the magnificence of each and every animal pictured. I have always wanted to go to Africa and hope someday I will BUT this book did an incredible job of taking me to a place that I've only ever dreamed of and given me a view that I could only ever hope for. Thank you, Lauren Baheux for you have an eye like no other and we thank you for that!

This book is as beautiful as the photo on the cover.Would look stunning in any home.Nice chunky size... just gorgeous.

Beautiful book powerful photos but heart break and sadness fills me knowing these precious animals face extinction.
