The original iteration of this book, by two of the UK’s most highly respected wildlife photographers, was published in 2013. Yes, nowadays we have YouTube tutorials aplenty, but nothing actually beats being able to sit down, turn the pages at your own pace, refer back, and dip in and out. In this version, there’s been a design refresh, with numerous new images and an expanded section on processing raw files, among several other updates. The tone of the book is approachable and the content thorough. Everything you would expect from a book with this title is covered and, of course, sumptuously illustrated with stunning photography. Best of all, by the end of it, you feel as if you might, with time and effort, produce something of a similar quality – and that’s what we should expect from a book such as this. -- Ailsa McWhinnie * Amateur Photographer magazine *
