50 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year: How Wildlife Photography Became Art

This book is a real treat to look through. High quality photographs, each one is fascinating. Descriptions and information about the subject of the images as well which is great. Quite small for a photo book, but a really lovely and affordable present idea. Lots of people have complained about the distressing images at the back but that is nature! To give the book a bad review because of a few provocative photos (featured in order to educate and raise awareness of issues) is really childish in my opinion. It is a gift for adults for sure because of that but it is by no means a reason not to buy it. Highly recommend.

Purchased this as a gift for an avid photographer and animal lover who absolutely loved this book. I had a quick look through before wrapping it and was very impressed by the exceptional images and quality print. Brilliant.

A great book, it came ever so slightly damaged with little indents on the front cover and the spine, but they are not very visible. Also, the paper quality, although it's made of out glossy paper, it does leave fingerprints for a few moments after touching in. But all in all I hope it'll be a good birthday present.

An amazing book, great value for money. The relatively low price of the book of course means that the images are smaller than we'd like, and occasionally spread across a page divide. But purely on the level of enjoyment, this is a beautiful collection with print to reveal the stories behind the pictures and some tentacle information. The last chapter, however, is deeply disturbing. It features photographs which illustrate the desecration and destruction of animals and their environment. Some of these images are very violent and disturbing, featuring mutilated animals. I agree with the inclusion of such images, but I wish there had been a warning.

So wonderful to have this insightful overview and perspective on the history and art of wildlife photography - not to mention such a visual feast. One of the most important books about wildlife photography there has ever been.

An excellent review of the wildlife photographer of the year books, obviously if you have the yearbooks this will be repeating what you already have. The technical quality of the photography increases every year, though I think that some of the pictures have become a little too arty over the years.

A must have to all Nature and Wildlife Photographers as it conveys a story of the context how Wildlife Photography started to the incredible imagens that the digital age allows nowadays. An imagery art book from wildlife photography. AWESOME!!!

Finding solace & tranquility while flipping through the pages ofthis book

Inspiring, indeed, remarkable !

Le livre est arrivé en parfait état dans un emballage renforcé et si je n'avais pas su qu'il était d'occasion, je l'aurais pris pour un neuf ! Les photos sont magnifiques et je trouve même que ce mot n'exprime pas assez toute la beauté et la poésie dégagées. Il faut vraiment être un artiste pour réussir à exprimer tant en une "simple" photo ! Le livre est en anglais et donne des conseils techniques afin de réussir ce genre de clichés. Je l'ai acheté surtout pour ses photos animalières et je n'ai pas été déçue, loin de là. Non seulement je recommande ce livre, mais aussi le vendeur. Merci.

Da una decina d'anni seguo le mostre del Wildlife Photographer of the Year e sempre rimango affascinato dalla bravura e dalla bellezza delle foto esposte e che ad ogni edizione riescono a mostrare in modi nuovi e inediti l'incredibile bellezza e varietà della vita sulla Terra. Questo libro, ben rilegato e con ottima qualità di stampa, è un eccellente compendio delle foto esposte nelle varie edizioni. Consigliatissimo!!

This book is a masterpiece. Absolutely stunning images and narrations on how the image was made. It is a must read for every nature photographer..
