Description
Drawing on more than two decades of experience, one of Britain’s most distinguished landscape photographers presents a collection of thought-provoking essays accompanied by a selection of stunning imagery. Containing a diverse array of picturesque landscapes ranging from North Yorkshire, the rocky canyons of the Colorado Plateau, the rugged Cornish coast, and the stunning rainforests of New Zealand’s Fjordland, this incredible visual collage reflects the philosophical intent behind each spectacular image. Revealing the technical considerations for each image—including light, weather, timing, composition, what dictated the choice of viewpoint, and selection of film and filters—this analytical yet deeply personal account is replete with practical advice for photographers of all skill levels, and a remarkable visual journey to some of the most beautiful locations in the world.
