Description
The book is now available for dispatch from both the US and the UK
To commemorate the success of our second year of running the awards, we have created our second compendium, continuing on our tradition of creating the finest compilations of landscape and nature photography available. This 220-page, large-format fine art book contains the work of over 140 artists from all over the world. We have also commissioned several essays which are included in the book, relating to the ethos of our competition – the eyewitness tradition of photography and the idea of representing the world around us with truth and honesty. We learned from the challenges of last year’s book delays and have decided to have this year’s book printed by Johnsons Book Printing in the UK so that we can physically be on-site to manage and expedite the process. The printing has been completed and the book is now shipping!
Prices are in USD. Please note, some countries charge import VAT on books.

Extended Edition
We solicited feedback from our entrants and book purchasers from last year and some people wanted to know a bit more about the photographs and photographers and we agreed. So this year we’re including an extended PDF available with every Volume Two purchase which has just that information which you can browse on your computer or tablet.

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

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.

As a judge and curator for the 3rd annual Natural Landscape Photography Awards, I spent countless hours admiring these incredible photographs on a screen. But let me tell you—seeing them in print is a completely different experience. There’s something magical about holding a photo book in your hands, and the NLPA volumes are no exception.
The images leap off the pages in a way that a screen just can’t replicate. The depth, the detail, the texture—it all comes alive. Every page invites you to linger a little longer, to soak in the talent and vision behind each shot.
If you love photo books, this one needs to be in your collection. It’s not just a book; it’s an experience, and it’s one I’ll keep coming back to again and again. Highly recommend.

Please continue NLPA and producing books. It’s hard to say anything bad about the quality of the book and work within.

If you love to see the photos in a book this is one of the best I’ve bought. I’have also the volume 1 and this have a little different format but the quality is out standing like the 1. I like to print my photo so I also like to have a book for look the photos of others photographers.
Last but not least the photo of the competition are “wow “ but real and not the result of hour of post production.
I hope that the competition have a long life.

Nothing was held back when it came to the quality of this book. Everything about it is stunning. The photography is mind-blowing, it really makes you want to get out and see more of this beautiful planet.
My favorite part about this competition is its integrity. It’s nice knowing that the images produced were made by real photographers and of real places.
If you are into nature/landscape photography, you won’t regret buying NLPA books.

I was impressed with the content and print quality of this book, which managed to surpass the achievements of the first volume. What was even more impressive was the astonishing amount of work that went into creating the extended PDF edition included with the book.
Being inspired and learning from so much contemporary and advanced landscape art is a rare gift for landscape photographers and an important historical book that showcases the modern evolution of landscape photography

These are fantastic books and are a wonderful source of inspiration for photographers. There is nothing better than losing yourself in one of these wonderful books for a few hours.

This series contains so much quality and originality that it must be of interest to any landscape photographer. Now that some are available on sale at discounted prices, they have become even more of a bargain. Even at full price, I think the books are good value, particularly given that the purchase helps fund such a worthwhile project, helping guarantee its continuation and the production of further volumes in the future.

First and foremost I LOVE the competition and really believe it what it stands for, but the best part of it is the book! These books are full of so many beautiful, thought provoking and inspirational photos and it’s wonderful how it can bring awareness to photographers that otherwise no one would have heard of. I have many books that I leave out in my office and on my coffee table and these have received the most comments and started the most conversations.

As amateur photographer and owner of all the books I can only remark how moving are the pictures that have been selected to be published in this volume. I do really enjoy the NLPA competition, it’s inspiring and make a great service for the landscape photography community.
