WildLOVE: A Declaration of Love to the Animal World by Pedro Jarque Krebs
Imagine locking eyes with a lion that seems to question your intentions or sharing a knowing smile with a panda. Pedro Jarque Krebs' latest coffee table book, WildLOVE, brings these unforgettable moments to life with a combination of beautiful photography, humor, and empathy. Through intimate portraits and candid snapshots, the award-winning Peruvian photographer breaks down the invisible barrier between humans and the animal kingdom—creating a visual love letter that is as thought-provoking as it is beautiful.
WildLOVE (teNeues publishers) invites readers to see animals as more than just wildlife—they’re individuals with quirks, personalities, and even moods. Each photo is designed to capture not only the beauty of these creatures but also their vulnerability and inner life. From the majestic pose of an elephant to a flamingo’s playful strut, Jarque Krebs’ lens reveals an unexpected humanity in every subject.
What sets these portraits apart is their visual drama: rich, vibrant colors that pop against deep black backgrounds. This artistic choice intensifies every detail, from a lion’s sharp gaze to the delicate feathers of tropical birds, creating an almost otherworldly intimacy that pulls the viewer into each animal’s story. Jarque Krebs doesn’t just aim for awe—he brings out each animal’s playful side, showing that lions, pandas, and even flamingos can have just as much personality as we do.
Jarque Krebs isn’t just any photographer—he’s one of the most awarded wildlife photographers in the world, with over 200 international accolades. His eye for detail and his dedication to conservation have earned him the Sony World Photography Award five times and the title of Photographer of the Month by National Geographic France. His work doesn’t just celebrate the natural world—it advocates for its protection.
"To deal with the animal world has turned into a major problem of great magnitude which directly affects our survival as a species," Jarque Krebs writes. Through WildLOVE, he hopes to bridge the gap between humans and wildlife, restoring some of the dignity that’s been stripped from these creatures due to habitat loss and human expansion.
