Zoo Portraits
While a fantastic cause, can the task of protecting animal rights and habitats also be fun? His aim is to increase our awareness of animals who need protection--from the Amur leopard to the plains zebra--with his Zoo Portraits project, which launched in 2013. The answer for Spanish photographer Yago Partal is "yes " as he joyfully embraces important environmental activism with his form of inventive entertainment.
It is not Partal's intention to create distance or make light of the animals, but rather to make people think and nudge them to get involved in protecting animals via pictures, education, and awareness. The project presents animals in anthropomorphized form, wearing clothing and accessories that echo the animal's temperament and preferred habitat. Mission accomplished: Yago Partal's wonderful animal portraits have found a huge audience, with media like CBS and the Daily Mail
