50 Years ofWildlife Photographer of the Year
This special collection is a
celebration of 50 years of the world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year
competition and of wildlife photography itself. Featuring many of the greatest
nature photographs of all time, it charts the development of nature photography,
from the first hand-held cameras and the colour film revolution of the 1960s,
to the increasingly sophisticated photographs of wild animals and unexplored
places that are taken today. An incredible variety of styles, skills and
approaches are on show, reflecting the great advances in technology and the
many and varied ways of viewing and interpreting the natural world. The
prize-winning images include ground-breaking portraits, breath-taking aerial
shots, underwater photography, close-up imagery and much more. The images are
accompanied by captions that put the photographs in context, explaining their
importance and revealing the vision, talent, passion and technique of the
world's leading wildlife photographers. All those who are passionate about photography
and who have viewed this compelling exhibition since its inception 50 years
ago, will treasure this astounding volume. The Wildlife Photographer of the
Year competition is an international showcase for the very best photography
featuring natural subjects. The competition is owned by two UK institutions
that pride themselves on revealing and championing the diversity of life on
Earth: the Natural History Museum and BBC Worldwide.

Wild,
brash, outrageous and laced with humour, Dougie Wallace's photos capture the
extreme variety of street life in one of London's most iconic areas:
Shoreditch. Old people, young revellers, street vendors, those from many ethnic
backgrounds and at all times of day - no one is immune to Wallace's sharp eye.
They are captured in vivid colour in over 50 images in this beautiful book.

Gautier
Deblonde has photographed artists’ studios in America, Europe, and Asia for the
past eight years. He is particularly drawn to the studio as a subject,
capturing the work in progress with all the traces of creation, but without the
artists themselves. As documentary photographs, the images are rich in detail full
of sculptures half finished, brushes scattered on the floor, and shelves of
inspirational material. Though the artists are conspicuously absent, there’s a
lingering sense of their presence, as if magic lies in every tool, waiting to
be brought to life. Left alone in the space, it feels as if time stops. Atelier
provides a privileged glimpse behind the scenes to the source of artistic
creation. Seventy studios have been captured in panorama, including the private
spaces of Georg Baselitz, Wim Delvoye, and Ai Weiwei among others. Photographed
methodically, the compositions appear together as a meditative study on the
studio, leaving the viewer to interpret the artists intention and imagine the
space come to life.
