Jungles is a personal exploration of nature in the tropics by
master photographer, storyteller, and naturalist Frans Lanting. In
a unique collection of images made over a period of 20 years in
jungles from the lowlands of the Congo to the cloud forests of the
Andes, Lanting interprets the aesthetic splendor and the remarkable
natural history of the tropical rainforest—a realm of bewildering
complexity where nothing is the way it first appears. ",While the
essence of photography is to show, jungles hide, or at best,
suggest,", Lanting writes. ",So I opted to show impressions of
jungles to evoke a sense of their kaleidoscopic nature—the glimpses
of faces that melt into shadows, the bursts of color and shimmering
light.", The book features four portfolios of images taken years
and continents apart, and stories of field expeditions into
tropical wilderness areas. ",Water and Light", shows the interplay
of these elements with plant and animal life, with a story about
life after dark in the jungles of Central America. ",Color and
Camouflage", explores the need to hide and the desire to be seen,
and details a journey to a remote part of the Amazon Basin to
document macaws. ",Anarchy and Order", features impressions of
growth and movement, and leads to a trek up a mountain in Borneo.
",Form and Evolution", is an ode to the wonders of natural
selection, and culminates in encounters with primates in the
forests of Madagascar and Africa. In photographs ranging from
spectacular gatherings of rainbow-colored macaws to the misty
exhalations of a forest at dawn, Lanting evokes the lush sensuality
and intricate natural order of the tropical regions that form the
beating heart of life on earth.
