Flach's previous work focused on horses and dogs, but his latest gallery, "More Than Human," features a variety of wild animals. .
Flach zooms in on his subjects so that we can "read their poses and gestures as we would the body language of a human figure, face or hand.".
Unlike traditional wildlife photography, Flach photographs his subjects in a studio instead of their natural habitat. .
This line of photography is notoriously challenging since the behavior of an animal is often unpredictable. .
Flach may adjust the temperature of the studio or play music to make an animal feel more comfortable. .
Other animals might like complete silence. .
Though you can't be certain how an animal will react on camera, Flach usually plans his angles and framing ahead of time. .
Flach meticulously researches his animals before the shoot to better understand how they will behave on camera..
What is this owl thinking?.
A chimpanzee affectionately cradles its child. .
These incredibly human-like gorilla eyes are mesmerizing. .
"These animals place us in an intimate relationship with their protagonist," Flach writes on his website. .
