Photographing Wilderness

Taken in locations as diverse as California and Western Samoa, these magnificent landscapes provide beautiful and instructive examples of what a photographer can achieve even in the most challenging environments. Jason Friend’s adventurousness has led him miles from the nearest signs of civilization, all in the hope of capturing nature in its unspoiled state. Photographers with an equally bold spirit will appreciate the practical information on where to go; what equipment to take; which composition, framing, and exposure techniques work best; and how to travel and photograph safely. In addition to being a comprehensive hiking and photographic guide, this is an impressive record of one man’s journey to some of the world’s most breathtaking untouched settings.
