The French photographer Laurent Baheux dedicates his new book to the “King of the Animals” ― the lion. Breathtaking black-and-white images create a powerful portrait of one of the most majestic and endangered species in the world. Think of lions and one might think of the powerful member of the “Big Five,” with a roar that echoes across the planes, and a merciless pursuit of its prey. One might think of the pack animal, surprisingly playful and affectionate within its pride. Or one might think of the endangered lion ― long the target of hunters and trophy collectors. In this new photo book, Laurent Baheux journeys across Africa to capture the lion in all its intricate facets. The result is a sensitive and intimate photo portrait that shows the big cat in all its nuance: at once powerful, fragile, and tender. Baheux’s stunning black-and-white lion photographs show this feline animal with the precision and texture of a studio portrait ― its many different movements, postures, behaviours, and expressions captured with startling intimacy. Playing among the pride, out hunting its prey, or eyeing us directly from the page, Baheux’s lion photography is as much a tribute to the lion’s character, power, and feeling as it is a haunting reminder that this most impressive of animals is also among the most endangered wildlife on earth. Text in English, German and French. 法国摄影师Laurent Baheux将他的新书献给“动物之王”——狮子。令人惊叹的黑白图像为世界上最雄伟和濒危的物种之一创造了一幅强有力的肖像。想到狮子,人们可能会想到“五巨头”中强大的成员,咆哮的声音在飞机上回荡,无情地追逐猎物。人们可能会想到群居动物,在它们的骄傲中有着令人惊讶的顽皮和深情。或者人们可能会想到濒临灭绝的狮子――长期以来一直是猎人和战利品收藏家的目标。在这本新的摄影集里,劳伦特·巴赫穿越非洲,捕捉狮子复杂的方方面面。结果是一张敏感而亲密的照片肖像,展示了大猫的所有细微差别:强大、脆弱和温柔。Baheux令人惊叹的黑白狮子照片以工作室肖像的精度和质感展示了这种猫科动物——它的许多不同动作、姿势、行为和表情都以惊人的亲密度捕捉到。在狮群中玩耍,外出狩猎猎物,或者直接从页面上看着我们,Baheux的狮子摄影作品不仅是对狮子性格、力量和情感的致敬,也是对这种最令人印象深刻的动物也是地球上最濒危野生动物之一的深刻提醒。英语、德语和法语文本。
