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

Description:

A sumptuous celebration of more than 230 of the most memorable and beautiful wildlife photographs from the past 60 years

"This 60-year visual history captures the interaction of human and animal, viewer and subject...and sweeps us up in the great natural tapestry of life." —Wall Street Journal

There's a unique magic to nature photography, and 60 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year reflects that wonder on every page. The book collects more than 230 breathtaking images from one of the world's most prestigious photography competitions hosted by the Natural History Museum, London, with captions that provide insight on the subject and the photographer's methods. The images capture intimate, otherworldly, and poignant moments, including:

  • Elephants taking a mud shower
  • A macaque seeing his reflection for the first time
  • The courtship dance of a humpback whale
  • A convolvulus hawk-moth drinking from a tobacco flower
  • Vibrant orange algae growing on a Monterey cypress

The book uncovers the striking beauty of animals, plants, and landscapes across the globe, and also reveals the artistry behind successful wildlife photography, which involves patience, instinct, and an understanding of animal behavior to get the perfect shot. Many of the photos also serve as important symbols of conservationism, demonstrating the urgent need to preserve the natural world.

60 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year positions wildlife photography as an important part of art history, and provides the ultimate way to witness all that nature has to offer.

Review

WALL STREET JOURNAL
"An impressive and surprisingly heavy volume [that] not only shows us the best of natural photography but also offers a history of the form...This 60-year visual history captures the interaction of human and animal, viewer and subject—a bird against bright water, a polar bear dwarfed by glaciers, the eyes of a wolf almost out of sight—and sweeps us up in the great natural tapestry of life."

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
"This is another must for anybody interested in wildlife photography, especially as it charts how the genre has evolved and changed over the last six decades."

"Great pictures of nature have one thing in common—they are unforgettable. They can also be a profound source of beauty, wonder, and joy. This is a collection of work from the competition that, over the past half century, has become an international showcase for the very best wildlife photography—images that have the power to affect how we feel about the natural world and therefore how we treat it. It’s a collection that will make you think.” —Sir David Attenborough
