Animal Portraits is a fascinating and original collection of photographs from one of the world's top wildlife photographers. Andy Rouse's uncanny ability to go where other photographers hesitate has allowed him to build up a unique collection of images from up close, unusually giving a sense of personality more than showing animal behaviour or habitats. There is the feeling of a real connection with the animals as they look us straight in the eye, often appearing to have stopped and posed for the camera. These encounters will all kinds of wildlife, from the mundane to the exotic and in locations from Asia to Antarctica and America to Europe, amount to a completely fresh and unique view of the animal kingdom.
