Face to Face: With the Great Apes

Monkeys arouse special feelings in many people because they are so similar to us. When we look into their eyes, we feel the closeness of our own kind. This is exactly the emotion conveyed in TeNeues coffee table book Face to Face' by Anup Shah and Fiona Rogers. A wonderful book that serves a special genre of animal photography and therefore should not be missing from any portfolio of a true lover of nature photography.

In 60 fascinating photographic portraits, the two nature photographers show chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos in close-ups, taken in the animals' natural environment. For this, the renowned and multi-award-winning nature photographers lived with the apes in the jungle for a long time and built up an intimate relationship of trust. Only in this way was it possible to capture these intimate portraits of the wild animals.

In addition to the unique wildlife photography, the high-quality coffee-table book also offers much fascinating background information on the history of the photographs. The individual photographs are framed by interesting stories about Anup and Fiona's experiences during their lives with the animals. In wonderful stories, the two talk about the different characters of the photographed animals, giving the reader hidden insights into the species of great apes.

But Anup and Fiona don't just want to present the animals themselves. Their work is a tribute to their protection, as monkeys are increasingly threatened worldwide. The disappearance of their habitats by humans is causing their populations to dwindle. With this moving photo book, the two nature photographers are launching an urgent appeal to everyone to better protect our closest relatives in the animal world. They want to weave new threads of communication between humans and animals and their own fascination with these creatures uniquely familiar to us.
