Review
You would expect a book such as this to be a stunning collection of images, and Wild Planet doesn't disappoint. BBC Wildlife Magazine ...charming book of photographs...images include wildlife from all five continents as well as landscapes of breathtaking beauty. Daily Express A collection of arresting images Waterstones Books Quarterly The book Wild Planet and its accompanying exhibition tour are a visual treat...the images in Wild Planet were specifically selected to showcase the diversity and beauty of the natural world, from a dry, desolate volcanic landscape to creatures living in lush rainforests or beneath the waves. Every image has an extended caption by the photographer that provides an insight into how and where the image was captured, as well as the equipment used. We'd highly recommend you purchase the book, but we'd also urge you to fix a date in your diary to visit the Wild Planet exhibition tour. Digital SLR Photography Magazine
