Landscape Photography: The Four Seasons

by Chris Gatcum

Overview

The changing of the seasons presents the landscape photographer with nature's most dramatic sights, as well as many of the genre's most rewarding photographic challenges.

Chris Gatcum uses the work of the field's most exciting contemporary photographers to illustrate this lavishly-presented four-volume set, and the result is a unique package that combines practicality with inspirational gift appeal. A magnetic closure on the outer case holds four individual seasonal volumes securely in place: each is packed with inspirational images and practical tips, and the hardback pocketbook format means that they are an easy addition to the camera bag.
