Lars Beusker's fascinating black and white animal portraits

"Look into my Eyes" is the first monograph by nature photographer Lars Beusker. In it, the passionate fine-art photographer shows the best animal portraits in black and white from his nature photography portfolio. Beusker's photos are exhibited in galleries worldwide. With an edition of only ten prints per photograph, they have long since ceased to be an insider's tip among enthusiasts and have advanced to become coveted collector's items, so much so that many long to own a genuine Beusker. With the illustrated book "Look into my Eyes", fans now have the opportunity for the first time to marvel at Beusker's wonderful photographs as a collector's item at any time.

 The master of the intimate animal gaze

As one of the most important nature photographers of our time, Lars Beusker quite rightly received the title "Nature Photographer of the Year 2022 (first place)". He photographs wild animals in their natural environment at close range and almost always manages to make eye contact. Like a human portrait, Lars uses short focal lengths for which he approaches his models up to two metres. He consciously seeks the animal's attention and sensitively captures this intense moment with the camera. The viewer feels as if he can look directly into the animal's soul. The fascinating intimacy that the artist creates with giraffes, buffaloes and zebras is palpable.

 Detailed and high-resolution portraits 

Beusker's photographs of wild elephants and big cats such as leopards, panthers and lions are also legendary. Animals that you would never get so close to as a human being under normal circumstances. The fascinating black-and-white photographs are bursting with detail. Every hair, every wrinkle and every muscle of the wild beauties is visible and in some pictures you have the feeling that the animal will jump out of the book at you in the next moment.

"Look into my Eyes" is a coffee-table book to dream, marvel and sink into. The right read for animal lovers and lovers of aesthetic fine art photography.
