Tom D. Jones is a wildlife photographer: he makes a point of never photographing animals in captivity and portrays them very closely. The results in True Wildlife are almost human portraits of East African 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 friend and colleague Steve McCurry emphasises in the foreword to this great book.
Tom D. Jones is a wildlife and fine art photographer and owner of the Jones Gallery in Knokke. In 2012 he became the only Belgian ever to become a Hasselblad Master, joining an impressive gallery of big names including Anton Corbijn, Albert Watson and Marco Grob.
"Tom's committed career has captured images that will serve as pieces of history for generations to come."
– Steve McCurry
"In his new book, the Belgian master photographer Tom D. Jones presents a captivating series of black and white images, which depict the unique wildlife of the East African savannah. The fascinating images are not only beautiful, they are also a reminder about how important it is to protect our planet's natural diversity."
