Chris Steele-Perkins Libros

A unique photographic record of a year in the life of an English Country House Estate.

Chris Steele has created this beautiful volume of work to celebrate art and nature. A calming and engulfing book, for when you need to be transported into calm meadows and peaceful gardens at the turn of a page. The intricacies and detail of flowers, insects, animals and the human experience flow out of these pages.

Dazzling and idiosyncratic photographs of contemporary Japan, celebrating extremes of beauty, the handprint of techno-culture, and the irony of documentary.Fuji, by the noted British photographer Chris Steele-Perkins, depicts the sacred mountain as a cultural nexus: a dynamic social phenomenon where tourism, farming, industry, religion, urbanisation, locomotion, housing and recreation, traditional ceremony and religion are all framed by the potent national symbol of the mountain. Fuji as seen by Steele-Perkins emerges as a meditation about modern Japan and Japanese life. The exquisite images offer a fresh and surprising view of Japan's iconic mountain, and an understanding of Japanese worldview as seen by an outsider who has penetrated its diversity with astonishing clarity, metaphysical insight, and profound complicity.
