About this title

Synopsis

Photographers aspiring to create images that reflect their own visions of a chosen landscape with a distinctive personal style will find great inspiration and practical guidance in this book. Alongside a portfolio of their latest work, each of the three photographers writes about the genre for which they are known: how they came to it, what inspires them, and how each developed his own particular style. The book also features photographs submitted by readers of Outdoor Photography magazine, accompanied by comments, critiques, and advice from the authors who suggest ways in which these contributors might further develop and refine their work. The combination of stunning imagery with inspirational and insightful three-to-one advice makes this a truly unique photography guide, which no landscape enthusiast will want to be without.
