Art and wildlife photographer Tom D. Jones makes a point of never photographing animals in captivity and portrays them from very closeby.

The results are breathtaking portraits of impressive animals such as elephants, rhinos, lions, etc. They also carry a clear message: let's take care of these often endangered species and the world they inhabit before it's too late.

This is precisely what his colleague Steve McCurry emphasizes in the foreword to this great book.

'Tom's committed career has captured images that will serve as pieces of history for generations to come.' - Steve McCurry
