Photographer Mark Laita unveils a pantheon of spectacular snakes in this electrifying collection. Inciting both allure and alarm, shining pastel pythons and vibrant green vipers slither across the pages. An illuminating essay by William T. Vollmann accompanies the images, delving into the associations with snakes that haunt our collective imagination.
From the iridescent blue Malaysian coral snake to the candy-cane-striped albino Honduran milk snake, the aptly named beautiful pit viper, and the gleaming black mamba, the worldâ€™s most dangerous and gorgeous snakes are pictured in Serpentine, showing off their fascinating colors and texturesâ€”as well as the sensual forms their movement creates. Through Laitaâ€™s lens, there is nothing they can do, no position they can take, that fails to be anything but mesmerizing.
