Overview
We share about 98 percent of our DNA with chimpanzees, our closest biological cousins. And never have the similarities between simians and humans been so amusingly and brilliantly captured as in MONKEY PORTRAITS. Jill Greenberg has spent 15 years photographing celebrities for leading publications, but has recently focused on actors of a different sort. She has been photographing monkeys and apes, many of whom have appeared on film or in television shows. Her intimate portraits of these animals convey a startling range of emotions and personalities, and evoke an almost eerie sense of recognition. Each of these 76 amazing photographs will remind you of someone you know. These monkeys in all their glory will cause you to laugh out loud and to wonder just how different we truly are.Synopsis
Jill Greenberg offers a fascinating, funny, and all-too-human collection of celebrity monkey and ape portraits. Each of these 76 amazing anthropomorphic photographs will remind readers of someone they know.

I think that we can all agree that it's time for celebrity monkeys to receive their proper due. In 2004, photographer Jill Greenberg gave faces to our closest biological cousins with a rousing exhibit of monkey portraits that received press in LIFE, The New Yorker, and other magazines. Monkey Portraits includes these images, along with eight brand-new monkey and ape photos.Book Details
