For the past forty years, Henry Horenstein (b. 1947) has worked as a photographer, professor, and author. While at University of Chicago and the University of Warwick (UK), Horenstein studied history. He then received his MFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he now teaches. In addition, his photography textbooks have been used by thousands of photography students over the past thirty years.

A prolific photographer, Horenstein has published over thirty books of his work including Show, Close Relations, Racing Days, Honky Tonk, and Canine. For Animalia, Horenstein focused on the essential forms of animals, creating sensual prints that reveal the beauty and mystery of various creatures.
