Rarely has an artist led such a secret life as the photographer Frederick William Bond. His portfolio allows insights into his life and reveals small segments of his biography. The photographer became famous for his photography of animals. The first works can be placed in the years around 1910. Frederick William Bond was therefore born in the late 19th century. The art scenes of the world had renounced the competition between painting and photography and photography was accepted as a serious art form. The expressiveness and high quality of the animal portraits suggest that the artist had a subject-related, perhaps even academic education. Bond took the large number of animal photographs at the London Zoo. The animals in Northern Regent's Park in London were Frederick William Bond's preferred subject. For over twenty years, the photographer accompanied the animals and showed them in various interactions with people. The assumption suggests that the artist's life centered in London at the beginning of the 20th century.
The London Zoo was the first zoo to be called a zoological garden. A sign that the Zoological Society of London was not concerned with demonstrations of power and the display of captive animals. In the early years, admission to the zoo was restricted to professional visitors. By the time Bond captured the animals with his camera, the zoo was already accessible to the general public. Frederick Bond captured these moments in the interplay of people and animals. The photographer succeeds in achieving a fantastic sharpness. The play of light and shadow creates special contrasts and gives the photos depth and expression.
The technique of photography had great inventions to show in the early 20th century. Roll film was invented and made it possible to take series and snapshots. A few years later the 35mm camera was developed. This gave the cameras a handy format and made it easier to take photos outdoors. The photographer no longer had to edit his pictures individually and time-consuming by hand. It was possible for the photographer to let the viewer see things that are hidden. Bond's photographs tell a story. The first steps of a lion cub and an alligator hatching from an egg are unique documents of contemporary history. Bond didn't just take pictures. He had the talent and patience to capture the shutter release and special moments at just the right moment. Frederick William Bond left behind a great photographic oeuvre, which, in addition to fantastic animal shots, is a masterpiece of photography.
