Last of their Kind by Joachim Schmeisser
Foreword by Djimon Hounsou, £45, teNeues, hardback, 208 pages, ISBN: 9783961712793
Joachim Schmeisser showcases his extraordinarily powerful black & white images, a tribute to the last remaining black rhinos (of which there are only two left in the world) and other endangered animals.
Found in the Amboseli National Park in Kenya, the local Maasai tribespeople ensure that nobody endangers the special rhinos. The photos in the book also get us up close and personal with the other animals from Africa’s ‘Big Five’, the lion, the leopard, the elephant and African buffalo.
It’s not a typical choice to photograph wildlife in monochrome, but here, the imagery being in black & white brings an extra poignancy and dignity to these stunning animal portraits.
