Press Release

British photographer Joe Zammit-Lucia will knock the wind out of you. A former physician, his universal tenderness is obvious; he lays bare a beauty that one occasionally glimpses, but is often eluded, in other photographer’s work. The nobility he brings to his black and white portraits of endangered animals, and his skillful use of light and shadow, culls empathy in the viewer. To say he anthropomorphizes his subjects is to vastly underestimate them; what you sense in the photos is real, and Zammit-Lucia has the power to make you see it. By removing his subjects from their surroundings one is forced to confront the power behind these images.

The stunning, minimalist composition and lovely use of contrast give his work a documentary feel. Zammit-Lucia has been photographing since he was 16. He has shown in the US and the UK and donates all the profits from his work to charities.
