Light & Land are creating a library of photography guides to help you grow as photographers even from the comfort of your armchair. This year sees the publication of our fourth book: Travel Photography Masterclass, edited by Ailsa McWhinnie. Published in conjunction with Argentum, the first three in the series have already met with critical acclaim.
Working the Light, published in 2006, examines different approaches to landscape photography. It is a powerful and inspirational tribute to the art of photography and especially the work of non-professionals - too often the unsung heroes of the medium. Acclaimed photographer Eddie Ephraums edited the text and was responsible of its outstanding design.
Developing Vision & Style was published in autumn 2007 opens a debate on what exactly is style in photography and how important an aim is it to achieve a distinctive style. Charlie Waite, Joe Cornish and David Ward write about the genre for which they are so well-known: how they came to it, what inspires them and how each developed his own particular style.
Finding the Picture was published in 2009. Our leaders Clive Minnitt and Phil Malpas address two of the most fundamental questions in photography; "What should I photograph?" and "How should I approach it?" They offer clear and practical advice on the steps photographers can take to release their inner creativity and make successful images.

Readers will learn how to get the best from each location they visit by considering matters such as the season, climate, time of day, and of course local cultures and customs.
