★ “如何拍攝動物”不僅體現了我們對於動物看法，更預示了人類與地球的未來
《為什麼我們拍攝動物》提供了一個關於動物攝影的歷史與發展趨勢的視覺概覽，引發我們如何看待和利用動物的思考，並考慮我們與非人類物種的未來關係。
這本書內容多樣，展示了超過100位攝影師的作品，並配有主題性文章提供歷史背景；包含與當代頂尖攝影師的訪談及貢獻，探索他們的影響、方法和動機；以及令人驚艷的視覺合集，展示了從動物攝影誕生至今的最佳作品。其結果是一本能吸引對野生動物攝影和自然世界感興趣的人們的書籍，同時也引起對地球未來關注的讀者的共鳴。
本書不是一本傳統的野生動物攝影歷史書籍，而是一場對攝影中動物的探索，表達了我們持續渴望觀察動物的心情──理解、誤解、欣賞牠們；利用或濫用牠們；忽視或開始珍視並保護牠們的願景。
A visual overview of the history and future of animal photography, Why We Photograph Animals encourages us to think and rethink the way we have looked at - and used - animals and to consider our future relationships with non-human species.
Multi-stranded, this book features the work of more than 100 photographers supported by thematic essays that provide historical context; interviews with and contributions by leading contemporary photographers that explore their influences, methods and motivations; and dazzling visual collections that present the very best animal photography from its inception to the present day. The result is a book that will engage those with an interest in wildlife photography and the natural world, but also those with a concern for the future of the planet.
Huw Lewis-Jones’s expert authorship and curation celebrates extraordinary images by brilliant photographers, but also allows us to understand why people have photographed animals at different points in history and what it means in the present. Why We Photograph Animals is deliberately not a conventional history of wildlife photography. It’s an exploration of the animal in photography. It speaks to our ongoing desire to look at animals; to understand, misunderstand and appreciate them; to use and abuse them; to neglect or come to value and protect them.
