Scientists have long found out, and artists and designers have confirmed that humans are very similar to animals. If not outwardly, then habits and habits. True, in this context, we are usually talking about pets that are similar to their owners. But the photo artist Lennette Newell believes that there is something animal and wild in each of us. This art research dedicated to her exhibition " People and animals", which could be seen in San Francisco, where the author lives and works. The photographer has been carrying the idea of this art project since childhood. As a child, she loved to watch her father, a veterinarian by profession and vocation, work. People brought a wide variety of animals to the reception: both familiar dogs, cats and hamsters, as well as exotic monitor lizards, boas, iguanas and other unusual animals. It was then that an attentive child noticed this similarity.
In her art project, the artist painted the models "like animals" with which she wanted to compare humans. Indeed, there is a similarity, and a very obvious one. Depending on the situation, and sometimes without noticing it, people are like tigers and snakes, monkeys and leopards, crocodiles and elephants. Bodypainting on a nude body only underlines this similarity.
Lenneth Newell's interest in animals, however, is constant and very dense: she is professionally engaged in photographing animals both in their natural habitat and in captivity, and collaborates with National Geographic magazine. You can view the author's work on her website.

Blue blood: after going through the horrors of the camps and repressions, Countess Kapnist retained her dignity and faith in people
Genuine aristocracy is not measured by titles, heirlooms and a hundred-year pedigree - probably, first of all, it is innate intelligence, fortitude and self-esteem.

LEGO beasts instead of real beasts
Deforestation of tropical forests, pollution of the ocean, melting of glaciers - all this leads to the fact that such seemingly famous species of animals as polar bears, some species of penguins, snakes, monkeys are endangered.

People, people and again people. Drawings by John Beinart
If you only have a couple of moments to get to know Jon Beinart, then, glancing over his paintings, you will see black and white portraits or several human figures.
