Acknowledging that photography is impossible to define, this intriguing reference strives to distil the meaning of photography in order to obtain the very essence of the medium without diminishing its importance as an art form. 50 iconic images by some of the world’s greatest photographers are paired with excerpts from interviews that explain each artist’s unique philosophy and detail their creative approach in relation to the photograph. Together they provide insights on function, perspective, and meaning. Thought-provoking, insightful, and ultimately inspirational, this engaging resource will appeal to all artists and photographers, and anyone who seeks a better understanding of the medium.

Afrika ist ein vielfältiger Kontinent mit kraftvollen Landschaften: vom tropischen Regenwald, den Feuchtgebieten des Okavango-Deltas, über die Serengeti und die einzigartige Natur Madagaskars bis zur Namib. Frans Lanting reist seit Jahrzehnten im Auftrag des National Geographic Magazine über diesen Kontinent und dokumentiert beeindruckende Landschaften und ihre Tierwelt, deren Veränderungen und ihre Bedrohung. Es gelingt ihm, intime Momente mit Tieren einzufangen, die es in der Wildnis immer seltener zu finden gibt: Rhinozerosse, Elefanten, Lemuren oder Gorillas.
