About JungleView - Stock photographs by Jacques Jangoux
My stock images show native cultures (tribal, rural) and nature (rainforest, savanna, desert, aquatic, mountain) in tropical countries (Latin America, Africa, some Asia). I am careful to correctly identify photographs with scientific name whenever relevant and possible, consulting a specialist if necessary. Some of my key concerns are the preservation of cultural and of natural diversity. I hope that my photography, used mainly in educational media, will contribute toward that goal. More recently my preoccupations have extended to global warming and climate change. Currently I photograph the Cerrado (savannas) and the rural people (small farmers, cowboys) of the Central Brazil Highlands. I emphasize the image collections: Tropical ecology concepts, processes; Rainforest; Babies, children, teenagers; Tourist / travel destinations ; Brazilian economy; Environment, biodiversity; Indian tribes; Religion, Colonial churches, Shamanism, Social Issues.
Tropical biomes including tropical rainforest (Tropical Rain Forest): ecology, life forms, aerials, forest fires; savanna; mountain vegetation; xeric vegetation; aquatic vagetation in South America, Amazon region, Brazil, Venezuela, some Asia; scenics and geomorphology: Guiana Highlands including Angel Falls, Brazilian Highlands.
Traditional cultires in Africa and in South America: village life in Peru, Mexico and Guatemala, African tribal life (from countries inaccessible now), South American forest tribe.
Economy: mining, logging, tourism.
The galleries include some of the following subjects:
agriculture, slash-and-burn agriculture, tropical vegetation, rainforest, savanna, ecology, environment, wilderness, biodiversity, rainforest destruction, flowers, tropical wildflowers, leaves, foliage, life forms: trees, plants, buttresses, stilt roots, drip tip, horticulture, global warming, climate change, alternative energy, wind energy, travel pictures, Africa, Central America (Mexico, Guatemala), South America (mostly Brazil and Venezuela), with a few images of Malaysian Borneo in Asia. People: activities, artefacts, village life, tribes, aerials, babies, mother and baby, children, teenagers. The people photographs represent tribes from Africa, as well as semi-acculturated Indians from Central America, tribes from Venezuela and Brazil, and rural people from Brazil, which I am currently photographing in the Brazilian Highlands. My travels allow me to see some tourist or travel destinations, such as Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world.
