Many books on nature photography are focused on either wildlife or landscape photography and their technical aspects. Of course you have to master this first. But I am more interested in the artistic interpretation of what I see. The magic that can be found in details (macro photography). Or the selective use of depth of field.
Artistic nature photography
Developing your own, recognizable, artistic style can only be done by learning how to really see. And then see beyond. You have to ask yourself: "What is the essence of what I see and how can I capture this essence into my own interpretation of what I see?"
On the right you will find some great books that show examples and teach how to become a truly photographic artist.
