Traer Scott

Radiant by Traer Scott is a gorgeous collection of photos depicting a variety of livestock breeds, showcased in examples from numerous animal sanctuaries. Along with each picture is a small blurb with facts about the individual animal shown, and the breed itself. In addition to cows, sheep, and chickens, there are goats, turkeys, llama and alpaca, and even a peafowl, a water buffalo, and a yak. I admit, I was surprised to see donkeys, but no horses, though you could make a beautiful photo collection just from horses! I grew up on a horse farm, so I'm partial to the big creatures. As Scott makes a case for, farm animals have every bit the personality that cats, dogs, and other pets do. Sometimes moreso. This book is perfect for animal lovers, and photo junkies, as well as making a great coffee table piece.

Radiant
Farm Animals Up Close and Personal
by Traer Scott
This is a touching book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This book has outstanding photography of wonderful animals! It appears as if the reader can look into their soul and see what they have been through, what they are feeling, and touch that gentleness that lies there beneath the mud, wool, and hay. Some of those eyes sparkle with mischief, some with new hope, and others just laughter. This book is a book of love for animals! These animals are in sanctuaries and all come with their individual story which makes it even more special. They are not just a bunch of animals, they are special individuals who light up a page and will touch your heart.… (plus d'informations)
