Almost human: Photographer's intimate studio portraits that show wild creatures making unnervingly similar gestures to us

But somehow award-winning UK-based photographer Tim Flach managed it, and this was the result. The 54-year-old has created a collection of incredible photographic portraits of animals so intimate they reveal the complex emotions of their subjects. And the emotions on show look strikingly familiar to our own. These stunning pictures were created by UK-based photographer Tim Flach, who has made a name taking intimate photos of animals Mr Flach is known for his highly-stylized animal portraits.

Almost humanlike: Turned away from the camera, this gorilla was captured for a spectacularly intimate shot After receiving worldwide attention for his photographs of dogs and horses in projects titled Dogs Gods and Equus, Mr Flach, from London, turned his attention to more exotic creatures.

“Rich and Poor confronts the myth of the American dream with the harsh economic reality of the American class system. Yet this documentary is more complex than that, for by including the protagonists’ voices in the form of text on his images Goldberg represents not just the polarity of class but the particularity of human experience. Intimate portraits taken in private spaces these pictures could only have been produced with a level of trust built up over time.

More exposing than a nude portrait, Goldberg’s approach is however essentially collaborative – not a relinquishing of authorship (these texts are still the result of the photographer’s carefully formulated questioning) but an attempt to solve the problem of creating a balanced documentary. Yoann Lemoine. I was born in 1983, and grew up in a captivating environment full of World War II stories, travels to Eastern Europe, where my family’s roots are, music and 90’s advertising, where both my parents worked.

My father slipped a pencil into my hand when I was a kid and I never really dropped it. That’s how I really started to express myself. Later, I discovered directors like Wim Wenders, Elia Kazan, Terrence Mallick, Michel Gondry or Gus Van Sant, painters like John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, photographers like Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfeld. They definitely influenced my eye and my sensibility. I started learning illustration and animation at Emile Cohl School, Lyon, and screen-printing techniques at Swindon College, London. Call me a do-it-yourselfer. All these techniques, in principle very different, are really linked together for me, as they are all grounded in my will to materialize my emotions, regardless of the means.
