Frans Lanting, a Dutch
American photographer, delivers yet another extraordinary book drawn from
time spent alongside African waterholes, Antarctic beaches, and North Pacific
islands, among other locales. Lanting chronicles the lives of residents
such as the aye-aye of Madagascar, the elephant seal of California, and
the caiman of Brazil. He favours an up-close and personal approach to his

The book "The Wildlife Photographs" reflects
the image of wild animals in their natural environment, captured by the

fine suite of photographs were the result of hair-raising negotiations
with elephants on their native turf. Few wildlife photographers have worked
in such close proximity with their subjects, as he notes in some of the
wry autobiographical vignettes that open his book, and Künkel's 120-plus
color plates capture elephants in all aspects of their daily lives: eating,
bathing, traveling, playing, fighting, and, well, making other elephants......
