More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For more than ten years, wildlife photographer Steve Bloom traveled all over the world, roaming through the jungles of Borneo, the African savannahs, and the frozen banks of Antarctica to assemble this dazzling collection of photographs of animals in their natural environments. With an international range and an eye and ear for what kids want to know about animals, the photographs and information in Untamed bring to life a vast panorama of animal diversity, and of the landscapes, climates, and habitats in which they live. Children will experience animals up-close; the serene gaze of a gorilla relaxing in the trees; a shark jumping in midair to catch its prey; a Siberian tiger traipsing through the snow in search of food; and penguins congregating on an ice floe. Bloom's anthropomorphic approach reveals rage, tenderness, and even humour in his subjects, capturing those fleeting moments when the gap between animal and human seems to disappear altogether. These amazing images, augmented by educational yet entertaining facts, make Untamed an essential volume for all animal lovers and libraries.
About the Author
Steve Bloom was born in South Africa in 1953. He first used the camera to document life in his native country during the 1970s. In the mid-nineties he created Steve Bloom Images, a wildlife stock agency and a fine print gallery, with the objective of offering clients high-quality imagery of a standard suitable for discerning advertising, design, and editorial agencies. Since then he has won a number of awards for his photography.

Untamed : Animals in the Wild
14 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
This item was okay, but it had the same exact pictures that were in the big UNTAMED book. I did not realize that it was more of a childrens book than an adult book. I was not expecting this and I was a little disappointed.

Awesome wildlife photos
26 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is easily one of the best collections of wildlife photos I've ever seen. Absolutely wonderful. Steve Bloom not only takes photos of interesting animals, but finds really dramatic and innovative angles. Close-ups, aerial shots, action shots. The photos range from Africa to Antarctica, Asia to America. Just about every single shot took my breath away. This is definitely THE wildlife photography book to get.
I also recommend Bloom's Elephant.

As a animal's portrait artist I'm always purchassing animal's pictures and comments of their behavior . The pictures in this book are good and in some of them very sensitive . The comments are inteligent and I learn a lot of thing.
