Bear Portraits by Jill Greenberg Review

Book Description:

A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects - whether human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected here for the first time, surprise and engage. We encounter cubs as cute as a child's Teddy,
grizzlies that look like they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in Sphinx-like tranquility.

Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies, black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying, and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with Greenberg's signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective of her lens, these startling bear portraits bring us face to face with our fears and fantasies.

My Review:

Or maybe I should call this the twins review!  They have loved sitting and looking at all of the different portraits of the bears.  Diva will sit and ask me the names of each of the bears and repeat them.  The pictures of the bears are amazing and being a photographer myself, I fell in love!  If you have children that love animals, this is a great book for their library! 

Hachette Book Group has a link for all of the places you can purchase this book.  You'll want to at least go LOOK at the book because its beautiful!

Happy Reading!
