Looking for the Light Mini

Description

"Internationally renowned for his stunning panoramic landscape Photography of New Zealand, Peter Latham has published a superb collection of his most popular fine art prints together with numerous unpublished images sure to surprise and inspire admirers of his work, in a new smaller format. In addition to the iconic 'tourist' views, Peter has included many shots taken on scenic backroads and includes interesting stories about how the images were obtained. He aims deliberately to avoid the classic tourist shot and reveal what can be seen just off the well-trodden route. Underlying the whole concept of Looking for the Light is an ability to seize the moment; light is everything, it can change so quickly, and Peter must work fast. Luck plays a very small part, and patience is the key. This affords the reader aprivileged insight into a body of work compiled over a period of years. Passion for his craft is evident in Peter's original portrayal of the land from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island, often returning to the same scene many times in search of perfect light conditions. Attaining a reputation for his work in art galleries and with thousands of collectors worldwide, Peter's unique eye has allowed him to succeed in the art market, one which has proved elusive to many New Zealand landscape photographers before him. Many of the extraordinary colour photographs are doublepage panoramas with exceptional definition, carefully selected to represent the best of Peter's work and his vision and lifetime quest to capture the finest possible imagery of New Zealand.
