Anima - The Photography of Jean-François Spricigo (1/9)

Jean-Francois Spricigo, the 2008 Laureate of the Prix de Photographie de l’Académie des Beaux-Arts, may well be the most articulate animal advocate on record. His critically acclaimed photographic series ‘anima’ documents the psychological complexity of the animal kingdom. Spricigo’s extreme sensitivity to the physical reality of each animal creates images, shot entirely in black and white, that transmit the emotional insight of movie stills.


His work will be shown here in Los Angeles in January and after rummaging through the web, I found a slide show of his images done for his exhibition at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris back in November '09. In conjunction with FLAX (France Los Angeles Exchange), we Angelenos have a chance to catch it on Saturday Jan 9 through to Feb 13, 2010
