Title: Highly Misrepresentation of Zoos
Product review: As an avid zoo goer, and photographer, this book is highly misrepresentative of zoos. I have visited some of the zoos featured and they have expansive, natural exhibits. It seems like the photographer focused on the few cramped or lonely looking exhibits the zoo has, and decided to feature that. Though, these exhibits pull emotional chords for us, looking at them doesn't often give the whole story of the animal's life. Zookeepers are very dedicated to them. I do wish all animals could have more natural, and expansive exhibits. I'm sure the zoo does too.I have to agree with the person that said many of these photos look like snapshots. I think that's intentional, but maybe I give the photographer too much credit.The power of photography, like any art, is conveying the artists ideas. This book is very good at that. However, one could even more easily make a book that made zoo animals look happy and healthy.
