Product Description
Product Description
Eye to Eye, the first personal portfolio by master photographer Frans Lanting, presents an extraordinary collection of animal images by an award-winning photographer and naturalist who has set the standards for a whole generation of wildlife photographers. More than 140 photographs, made over a period of twenty years, reveal the unique personal aesthetic Frans Lanting brings to wildlife photography. This book's exquisite images are accompanied by personal stories and observations from a lifetime of working with wild animals around the world, ranging from orangutans in the rain forests of Borneo to emperor penguins in Antarctica. More than 70 species are represented in this astonishing portrait gallery celebrating the diversity of life on earth. Frans Lanting work has been lauded by designers as art, by biologists as science, and by others as a new vision of the relationship between animals and people.

Wow !!! How can anyone get so close?!
These photographs are absolutely stunning. The talent of Frans Lanting oozes from these pages.
There is a closeness to the subjects here that borders on the intimate. In some cases, one wonders how he actually managed to get the shot.
The focussing and exposure is spot on and the composition is perfect.
I have tried to follow this type of photography and I am only too aware of how difficult it is to obtain these sorts of images.
I take my hat off to Frans Lanting. This is a brilliant work. A completely unique approach to wildlife photography. His behind the scenes narrative to the shots is also very illuminating.
This book is not only a valuable reference for all nature photographers but a captivating example & encouragement to all other wildlife photographers that reveals exactly what can be achieved. Sensational !

There really are some amazing photos in this book. They are the right size and shape but the folds and seams of the book do spoil the effect of (for example) a lion staring right at you. I guess that Frans doesn't want us ripping them out and putting them on the wall behind glass as if they were the real thing. Having seen some of the photos reproduced in a magazine on a smaller scale (with no break in them) I was rather dissappointed by the reduction in impact of the photos due to the binding of the book.

I was browsing with no real purpose when i came across this book, and heck am i glad i did! The pictures are utterly amazing, up close yet crisp and clear. It had allways been my beliefe that a book comprised of pictures was a one look wonder but that has changed of late with my discovery of books such as this one. You can recall the pictures but can never remember all the detail so every time you see it you're amazed! A wonderful book, nodoubt about it, Frans Lanting is a great photographer and he proves this in yet another exelent book

Disappointing
Many of the animals are great in this book, but the photographs of them are mostly common. Many images have a stale look about them and many lack any clarity or detail. Read more
