Description
Developing Animals: A New Perspective on Wildlife Photography By Matthew Brower, University of Minnesota Press, 2011 The early era of photography was marked by significant challenges in capturing animals on film. This book explores how Americans began taking pictures of the animal kingdom at the beginning of the twentieth century, a time when photography became a mass medium and wildlife photography gained popularity. Brower's analysis reveals how photographers created new ideas about animals as they transitioned from photographing taxidermic specimens in controlled settings to capturing images of creatures in their natural habitats through practices such as camera hunting. This book demonstrates the crucial role that photography has played in shaping our understanding of wildlife and the conceptual separation between humans and animals.
