Through his remarkable series of portraits, photographer Pedro Jarque tries to reconstruct our view of these wild animals by restoring part of the dignity that has been usurped from them.

He has been traveling in the heart of the Amazonian nature since the age of ten and has specialized in landscape photography since the 1980s.

By immortalising wild animals in their natural habitat and then working on the lighting in postproduction to display them against a neutral backdrop, Pedro Jarque Krebs aims to help break down the barrier that we have built up over the centuries concerning our relationship with the animal kingdom. The darkness of the backdrop and the play of light and shade allow the photographer to create the atmosphere necessary to take an emotional approach to them. Our contemplation of animals has always represented a means of reflecting on the origins of humanity.
