Etsy Find: Sharon Montrose Photographs

November 18, 2008

I just came across these Animal Prints ($25) by photographer Sharon Montrose, and I'm totally smitten. The LA-based shutterbug snapped these real live animals, who mostly "live happily at a small California Zoo," perched in front of a white backdrop on hardwood floors. The details are truly amazing, and I applaud her for getting these zoo dwellers to stand so still! There's something so human about these images that I love; Montrose brings out each animal's personality with just the click of a button. Oh, and did I mention that the price is right?! What do you think?

I'm seriously in love with these photos. Especially the Barn Owl.

These are so freakin' cool. And I am hugely obsessed with owls, so I may have to take that image home with me.

these are very similar to photos by andrew zuckerman, published in his book creature. I was given this book as a gift and it is truly stunning, my daughters (3 & 1 years) adore it.http://www.amazon.com/Creature-Andrew-Zuckerman/dp/0811861538

I don't usually go for animal photographs but those are some lovely images! I love the porcupine, and on her site I'm strangely attracted to the vulture!
