CreatureBook:自然生物攝影網是由安德魯·朱克曼創辦的一個綜合性的自然世界攝影圖片展示和生物工程網站,他採用極簡的攝影方式,拍攝了大量的動物圖片,所有的圖片都是無背景的。一個讓人賞心悅目的網站,在白色背景的襯托下,動物們顯得格外可愛,讓你在不自覺中喜歡。
Andrew Zuckerman’s comprehensive photographic catalogue of the natural world began with the CREATURE project. Substituting his minimalist visual language for the conventions of traditional nature photography, Zuckerman extracted his subjects from their environments and recontextualized them in the clarifying white space to distill each animal to its most essential qualities.
CREATURE is aesthetically rooted in the illustrative indexing of 19th century biologists and the dioramas of natural history museums, and shares their preservationist intent. In CREATURE, Zuckerman explores the notion of photography as taxidermy and the hyper-articulated images provide the viewer with intimate and vivid access to the animal kingdom, including a number of rare and endangered animals.
Alongside scientific classifications for all of the species included in the project, the CREATURE collection provides a contemporary document of the animal kingdom at close range.
