Flamingo by Claudio Contreras Koob
£35, TeNeues, hardback, 224 pages, ISBN: 9783961713875
Featuring over 120 photographs, wildlife photographer Claudio Contreras Koob has spent several decades promoting awareness of nature and conservation across his home country of Mexico. There must be relatively few birds as iconic and well-loved across the globe as the flamingo, and for Koob, his love for the animal started in his childhood. Alongside the beautiful images, text by Koob highlights his journeys to photograph the birds. The book is the result of a ten-year project, during which he had to earn the trust of the colony he photographed. In this way he was able to observe – and photograph them – behaving as normally as possible.
