'Between Us' is a photographic series that captures the inherent humanity of animals and highlights their emotional depth and the beauty of Mother Nature. The photos offer a detailed, intimate look into the lives of these animals. Through this series, Vincent invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty and majesty of animals. These photos not only reveal the striking similarities between animals and humans, but also remind us of the intense bonds we share with nature. Just like us, animals experience a range of emotions, form social bonds, and exist in a community.
These images remind us that we are not alone on this planet, but rather closely interconnected with the animals around us. This minimalist environment highlights the beauty, elegance, and grandeur of these creatures, evoking the remarkable similarities between animals and humans, such as the strong maternal bonds between mother and child, the playful and curious nature of childhood, and the wisdom and experience of old age. The series not only showcases the beauty of animals, but also reminds us of the importance of conservation. The grandeur and majesty of the images inspire a sense of wonder and respect for the environment. This series serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of conservation, reminding us of the critical role we play in ensuring that these magnificent creatures are protected for future generations.

About the Artist
Vincent Lagrange“By showing that we are not alone on this earth, I want to make people a little bit more sensitive to nature conservation.” - Vincent Lagrange
As a renowned portrait photographer, Vincent Lagrange has received numerous accolades throughout his career, including being featured on the cover of National Geographic Magazine in 2022 and publishing an international book of human dog portraits. With a lifelong passion for the art form, Vincent’s love for photography was cherished from a young age while growing up in his father’s studio in Antwerp.
Inspired by the resilience and nobility of his beloved pet cat, Dwiezel, Vincent has dedicated his career to capturing the unique spirit of animals through the classic techniques of human portraiture. His work is characterized by a focus on trust, kindness, and openness in his relationships with his subjects, resulting in photographs that showcase the inner energy and dignity of his subjects. Vincent Lagrange wants to make people small in the world of his animals.
Vincent’s on-going series of portraits, known collectively as The Human Animal Project, is built around a single mission: to give animals a voice through the power of the photographed image which will allow them to tell their own story.
The artistic vocabulary of Vincent’s work seeks to uncover their individual character and unique personality. The project is built to raise awareness about animal causes, and in so doing, can stimulate various side-projects and initiatives for charitable contributions for pet shelters and other worthy causes.
