Product Description

Synopsis
We share about 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, our closest biological cousins. And never have the similarities between simians and humans been so amusingly and brilliantly captured as in Monkey Portraits by celebrity photographer Jill Greenberg.Jill has spent 15 years photographing everyone from Kelly Osbourne to Clint Eastwood, but has recently focused on photographing stars of a different sort. She has been photographing monkeys and apes, many of whom have appeared on movies or in television shows. Her intimate portraits of these animals convey a startling range of emotions and personalities. They convey the same wit and expressiveness that have made William Wegman's dogs so endearing. Each of these 76 amazing photographs of monkeys and apes will remind you of someone you know. These pictures will make you laugh out loud and wonder just how different we truly are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monkey Portraits, 4 Oct 2007
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This is a great book full of...monkey portraits. Most of the monkeys have been used in various films and commercials and their credits are noted in the back of the book. The style of photography is pretty unique, almost as if it is rendered in paint or another media and it is wonderful to see the expressive faces of these beautiful creatures. There are some wonderful natural poses, where the artist has captured the personality of the monkey, and others (where the monkey has been trained to) where the subject is posing for the picture. Although these are less satisfying than the natural poses, they are still full of charm. Animal rights campaigners will worry about using animals is studios like this for art, rather than taking shots in the wild. I tend to agree natural, wild shots are more satisfying to view, but that doesn't take away from some wonderful photography and animal portraiture in this book. Worth a look if you're interested in primates and have many other books on the topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 12 Feb 2009
This review is from: Monkey Portraits (Paperback)
Phenomenal glossy and emotional portraits of our cousins.The heavy retouching (which is part of Greenberg's signature) does sometimes get in the way.
