Overwhelmingly underwhelming
2011/11/2
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
**Update. Ok, well, now I feel guilty for writing such a critical review---I wrote in haste and suppose it's possible that hyperbole got the better of me. I want to reiterate that I find Sharon Montrose's work to be amazing; I actually wish that I could wallpaper my office in her prints. My reason for the lackluster review is that I was SO excited to receive this book, thinking it would showcase her work in larger scale. My problem for having different expectations. To that end, if you realize that you're going to be receiving a journal sized, intimate look at her work, then order away and enjoy. Otherwise, go to her website and buys lots of full size prints.**
I'm a huge fan of Sharon Montrose's work, but Menagerie is a true disappointment. The foremost directive of the book seems to be to make sure that no one can buy it in order to pull it apart for prints. Understandable, but I wish that the publisher, or Ms. Montrose, or whoever made the decisions about this book, would've had more confidence in her work.
The majority of the content is pictures of prints, i.e, a photo of one her prints, framed on a wall, from about 10 feet away. So, you can't even see the detail in many of her wonderful shots. Also, the book itself is small--the pages are basically 5x8's, which means that many of her more stunning photos are chopped up by the book's spine (most egregiously with the pink flamingo). Menagerie would be beyond stunning if it had a simpler format to match her simple backdrops, and if the pictures filled the page. Trust me, I would still buy prints separately!
Overall, I think the book could've worked, even in its overly art-directed format, IF it was much larger sized. Then, you could really get the scale of her photos. As it is, I'm squinting to see detail, and essentially bummed out that these gorgeous photographs have been diminished by kitsch.

A delight

You may need to be a fan of both design and photography to appreciate this new book by Sharon Montrose, which has been beautifully illustrated by Julianna Swaney, but I think it is very artfully done. Admittedly, my favorite spreads are those that feature Ms. Montrose's images on their own, but maybe I appreciate them more because of the juxtaposition of framed images. Every page offers a new adventure: a clever frame; an intriguing illustration; a beautiful animal, bird, or reptile. (Okay, I'm not fond of snakes, but it is a great photograph!) Because of the book's thickness, the crossover images do lose some of their beauty, but it is a practical matter. Would I want a book with fewer pages so that the crossovers were more successful? No, not necessarily. I do appreciate how much has been packed into this compact format and I look forward to the coffee table version! All I can say is that, in addition to my own copy, I've already ordered two more to give as gifts. Thank you to Sharon Montrose and Julianna Swaney for a book that is clearly from the heart.

Animal Portraits
2012/3/11
形式:ハードカバー
A delightful collection of animal photographs arranged as if you are looking at a family home with portraits all around. Such great captured photos of animals as a photographer would do with studio prints of humans.
Organized into categories such as babies, primates, birds, farm, cats and more. A huge variety of different animals all being raised and cared for (mostly rescued animals) by care takers. Not your shot in the wild style of photos. These are geared more toward the pet lover.
Sharon Montrose is a well known photographer of animals and is able to capture the personality of the animals she photographs.
This is a gorgeous collection in a hard bound book. Fantastic for browsing through, and sharing with friends!
