Nature Photography Books

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.

Recommended nature photography books
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?"

Here are some great books that show examples and teach how to become a truly photographic artist:

God Is at Eye Level: Photography as a Healing Art (Paperback) by Jan Phillips

The Tao of Photography: Seeing Beyond Seeing (Paperback) by Philippe L. Gross, S.I. Shapiro

Photography and the Art of Seeing: A Visual Perception Workshop for Film and Digital Photography by Freeman Patterson
