A Unique Vision in Wildlife Photography
Pedro Jarque Krebs has carved out a distinctive place in the world of wildlife photography. His work is known for its sharp focus, humor, and an almost human quality that makes each animal portrait feel deeply personal. As one of the most awarded wildlife photographers, Krebs stands out for his unique visual language and innovative photographic techniques.
What sets Krebs apart is his ability to form an intimate connection with each animal he photographs. He breaks down the barriers between humans and wildlife, creating images that feel more like portraits than mere snapshots of nature. This approach allows viewers to see the animals not just as creatures of the wild, but as individuals with their own personalities and expressions.
In his latest book, WildLove, published by teNeues, Krebs presents a collection of wild animal portraits that are unlike anything seen before. The book features artful and emotionally resonant images that capture the essence of each subject. With a subtle sense of humor and a deep sense of intimacy, Krebs brings a fresh perspective to wildlife photography.
The contrast between the animals and the deep black backgrounds in the book is striking. It enhances the vibrancy of the colors and creates a sense of closeness that is hard to ignore. Whether it’s an elephant, lion, panda, flamingo, or any other wild bird, each image showcases the unique character of the animal. This attention to detail and emotional depth is what makes WildLove so compelling.
Krebs’ work appeals to a wide range of audiences. Animal lovers, photographers, art fans, and creatives from various fields will find something to appreciate in this book. Even painters may find inspiration in the way Krebs captures the natural world.
In the introduction to WildLove, Greg Gorman, a renowned American photographer known for his honest and powerful portraits, praises Krebs for achieving a connection with wild animals that has never been seen before. Gorman notes that Krebs consistently finds this special moment in every shot.
Unlike traditional portraitists who rely on simple direction and hand gestures, Krebs takes his time. He waits patiently for hours, capturing the perfect moment that truly reflects the animal’s personality. Gorman describes Krebs as “a jewel of a photographer whose work I greatly admire and whose talent continues to leave me in awe.” He emphasizes that Krebs’ focus is on what he wants the viewer to see, without any distractions. This is a sign of true mastery.
WildLove is more than just a collection of beautiful images. It is a genuine experience that draws readers into the world of wildlife through Krebs’ unique lens. Each page invites reflection and appreciation for the natural world.
