Oftentimes, nature photography is set against the busy wildlife background of an animal’s natural habitat. As gorgeous as these photographs are, sometimes the elaborate beauty of the scene distracts from the distinct features of each animal. French photographer Patrick Bouquet has identified a solution to this problem. In his animal photography, he narrows in on each animal's exquisite details by prominently placing his subjects against a dark background, eliminating the many distracting elements that cause visual confusion.
Through these photographs, Bouquet focuses on the brilliant features and expressions of all kinds of creatures. Viewers have the opportunity to investigate the wispy whiskers of a cheetah, to examine the ruffled layers of a parrot’s feathers, and to stare directly into the intense gaze of a gorilla. The artist says, “Colors and contrasts, lights and memories. Seeing all, enjoying all, that is why I love photography.”

Comment by Fanny Hauser on October 12, 2012 at 11:09am just what i was thinking.. some of them look really awkward in the very negative sense of the word :/ i would've preferred the original background.. how could one not notice how horrible that looks? pity :/
Comment by Matt Mitacek on October 11, 2012 at 11:34pm Is this serious?Nice photos, but who was maskin' them?That's horrible work. Sorry for critics but I think that professional photographer should edit his works precisely or cooperate with a good graphic designer to do that. In other way happens that his hard photographic work is destroyed by horrible graphic edits...
