Land Of Light

The new hero of your bookshelf!

My first book "Looking For The Light" (top right, published in 2017) was so well received and set a new benchmark for NZ pictorials. So with "Land Of Light", I was determined to push the boundaries even further and produce the ultimate book of the highest quality possible.

After several years hauling my equipment high into the mountains, scouring off-shore islands and exploring far flung corners, I finally captured all the photographs I needed for Land Of Light's vast image bank. I then spent most of 2024 designing, writing, editing, proofing - and then more editing!

The impressive dust jacket cover was printed digitally (rather than the offset press), giving it a high resistance to U.V. This was then matt-laminated to reduce finger prints & the titles on both this & the handcrafted presentation box have been printed in silver foil. I felt this book deserved these bespoke details & the end result is really superb.

Ju & Kevin were so excited to receive their book which matches their framed canvas "Highway To Heaven", proudly hanging on their wall in Hertford, U.K.

Marcie & her amazing nikau powder room in her Auckland home, with "Nikau Central" printed onto vinyl 2.5m high & applied as wallpaper. And she even has a 2nd powder room with one of my bush scenes from Stewart Island on the walls too, so cool!

Trish & Barry's framed canvases "Harmony" & "Lost In Time" adorn their stunning new home in Methven.

"The Circle Of Life", which I captured at sunset as this wave broke over a rock (near Karamea, West Coast).

Congratulations and thankyou for all your hard work. You have made me so happy! B.W. Germany
