Non-Fiction Photography
A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a
unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects
- whether human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected
here for the first time, surprise and engage. We encounter
cubs as cute as a child's Teddy, grizzlies that look like
they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in
Sphinx-like tranquility. Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies,
black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on
location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial
expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying,
and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with Greenberg's
signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective
of her lens, these startling bear portraits bring us face to
face with our fears and fantasies.-
