Marvel and learn about the giants of the animal kingdom here — in our large book BIG
Big Animals, Big Emotions: When award-winning wildlife photographers Amos Nachoum and Marko Dimitrijevic join forces, the results are breathtaking. In BIGthey take us on a remarkable and moving journey around the world of large animals — and into ourselves.
For the first time a wildlife photography book was created through the emotions of the photographer. When we encounter an animal in the wild, we have a direct emotional response to it. We can feel awe, admiration, fascination and yes, sometimes love or fear. Marko and Amos brings you face to face with the biggest animals through their amazing photographs. They also shared their feelings of getting up close to polar bears and giant polar bears, diving with great white and whale sharks, photographing tigers and roaring lions, and observing up close gorillas and leopard seals , bulls, eagles and more. And even get close to 200-ton blue whales.
