Customer Reviews
Here are a selection of our customers review. We’ve also had some an online review by Mike Prince.
Recently listened to a talk by Tim Parkin which was amazingly inspiring and encouraging and he mentioned about setting up this competition. When the talk ended I bought this straight away and so glad I did. The photos are beautiful, so well shot and I enjoy reading the background to the photos and why they were taken. As a judge myself I try to immerse myself in the photo I'm looking at and trying to picture in my head it was taken.
I think now I will have to buy all the books in hardback!
Volume three arrived today, the book will be on the table more often than in the bookcase. I can tell the potential viewer and reader of volume 3, that the presentation and content exceed all expectations. If Volume 1 and 2 were already of a high quality, this book with its contents is another step up the ladder. Hence, I warmly recommend it to anyone who has a love for photo books in general and who is committed to landscape and nature photography. Good luck with volume 4 for photographers and judges to take another step up.
This is an exquisitely designed, elegant collection of fresh and deeply moving photography of our precious planet. It deserves a place on the shelf of all of us who collect photobooks.
The publication of “Natural Landscape Volume #2 is pure top quality in both printing and binding. It smells pleasant and I can only be brief about the content, all photos deserve a place of honor in this reference work. I hope that the organization and all the other people who helped will be present again at Volume #3. they deserve it.
Furthermore, I can only wish that this book is picked up by fellow photographers and others who have their heart in landscape and nature photography in general. From this place, a big thank you to Tim Parkin
The book itself is of a very high quality, very varied, and this book will be on the table more than on the bookshelf. The only complaint is that it took a very long time to arrive, it was worth the wait. It is a pity that my book is damaged in the foil, there is a large dent on the front. I can understand that for year 2 a different partner has been chosen to ship, it is a lot of work, done by Tim and his family. Looking forward to part 2 year 2022. (note from organisers - a replacement has been offered since this comment)
I have recently received my copy of this book and my initial impressions are that the quality and design are absolutely first class. The critiques of the photos and the insights from the contributing photographers are both insightful and informative. The images are superbly printed throughout the book. Highly recommended.
I just received my gorgeous copy after many many months of waiting and even forgetting that I had jumped in on the pre-sale. It is an incredible value for the excellent quality and exquisite images. I am so looking forward to Volume 2! Every landscape photographer should own a copy. Thank you to the production individuals and the judges. Marvelous work! It will become my "bible" for landscape photography.
The founders of the Natural Landscape Photography Awards set a very steep challenge for themselves - creating a new competition that celebrated eyewitness photography that relied upon a photographer's ability to capture the beauty inherent in the natural world rather than a talent for creating digital art through the use of Photoshop and other similar tools. The publication of "Natural Landscape Volume 1" is proof that the founders met that challenge. The photographs in the the book are simply stunning. The commentary in the book, both from the photographers themselves and the judges and organizers, provides a tremendous insight into the images. The quality of the printing and binding seems superior. The book will find a place on my bookshelf among my collection of fine art photography books, but not before I study it closely to learn all I can from it. Congratulations to the founders of the NLPA. I look forward to Volume 2.
This last year I began collecting fine art photography books so every time I receive a new one I can compare it and tell if it's as high quality as the others. I have to say this NLPA book is at the top of the list. The pages have a nice weight and feel to them and the image quality / color is outstanding. Considering how thick this book is, this is one of the best values you can get. You can really tell they took the time to make this book right and I look forward to diving into it more!
A highly commendable collection of some of the best nature photographs and photographers of the era! The quality of the binding and printing is excellent. Each page is like a fine art print. Even the darkest images show every bit of detail. No, I'm not affiliated in any way. I'm just excited to have my copy of one of the best collections of nature photographs ever published
