For Christmas, I received from Chris this amazing book of bear portraits by Jill Greenberg. When I first looked at it I thought they were incredible drawings, however on reading the text, I realised that they were indeed photographs and that they were given their unreal appearance with Jill's studio lighting. I find myself having to look through this book, in awe of the beauty, power, and even the comedy that has been captured in these portraits. It is truly a book to treasure and one full of inspiration for me in my bearmaking.
isn't her photography beautiful! I have admired her work for a very long time I love the antics on their faces but what amazes me the most is how she gets them to sit there while she's taking them that would get the adrenalin going!
ReplyDeleteIsn;t this book fabulous!!! I got one a few weeks ago...couldn't wait for chrissy! I am lucky to own her monkey portraits book too and that is just as amazing!!!!!

Oh my gosh, I was going to blog about this, you beat me to it. Linda (Lombardbears) told me about it. It is the most wondeful book. I was so glad I bought it. You did receive a wonderful gift.
