Portraiture From a New Angle

Having said that I am going to look at portraits and close ups as my project I assumed this would be of people. However, I have realised that portraiture also covers such things as animals and pets. I have decided to analyse some portraits of animals - varying from domestic pets to slightly more exotic animals as would be found in zoos. Some notable photographers in this area are Frans Lanting and Andrew Zuckerman. Zuckerman in particular is noted for is work of studio photography of animals, which can compare well to human portraits.
