Description
To commemorate the success of our fourth year of running the awards, we will create our fourth compendium, continuing on our tradition of creating the finest compilations of landscape and nature photography available. This book will be a 220-page large format fine art book containing 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 are once again printing this year’s book through Johnsons Book Printing in the UK so that we can physically be on-site to manage and expedite the process.
Don’t forget if you purchased a coupon when entering the competition that you can use it here or for any bundle of book!
Prices are in USD. Please note, some countries charge import VAT on books – we have no control over this.
IF IN THE US, YOU ARE PRE-ORDERING. The book has been printed and is being shipped to the US as we speak. You should receive your book in February.
Extended Edition
We will once again be including an extended PDF available with every Volume Four purchase which has more detailed information for every photograph inside of the book, which you can browse on your computer or tablet.

I will keep my review short; it surpasses the previous three volumes without shortchanging those as well. The bar has been slowly raised. Wonderful work in volume 4. For those who are not convinced, it is recommended to purchase it. You will certainly enjoy it and often take the book out of the closet or the shelf, to browse in it .

Like books one – three, volume four contains a diverse collection of photographs that majestically capture the beauty of the planet we inhabit. If you like landscape photography you need to buy this book; it’s that simple. An investment that will sooth your mind.

The photography in this book is nothing short of outstanding. The presentation of the book has been meticulously curated. This is a book you will pick up again and again and again.

It is the second year I entered the competition and the first book I purchased.
The quality is amazing and full of comments and explanations which just motivate to be better every year!
If you want to see wonderful photos and progress, it has to be on your shelves!!!

The book itself is quality – cover, binding and fine art prints (the images really pop while staying true to nature as per the ideology of the competition itself). The short passages on each of the images has more than your average place, camera, settings malarky. Instead there are comments on subject matter, composition, and the hooks that drew the judges into the images resulting in their inclusion within the book. However it is the images themselves are what brings me back to these books with photographs capturing places all over the world and in all sorts of conditions – the standard is very high indeed. Volumes 1-3 are quality as well and with each volume they are simply fine tuning and already quality product.

If you want to broaden your field of vision regarding contemporary landscape photography and if you want to deepen your understanding of what landscape photography can be, then you really need to get this entire collection of books. There is no better way to do so than by marveling at and studying the amazing photographs in these books while learning from their texts and essays.
Beautifully designed and printed on high quality paper. I highly recommend it to all photographers and nature lovers!

I love the books. Very nice image selection, all natural, no AI, no overdone photoshop compositions.
Two suggestions for improvement: Even though it’s not really important, it would be interesting to see the technical shooting data next to the pictures. It would also be good if you didn’t ship the books from the UK for the European market. The UK is not part of the EU and the recipient has to pay customs duties or, in the worst case, the books get stuck in customs.
Note from the NLPA Team: All of the technical data is included in the free extended PDF that you receive with each book. We have no other way to ship books to the Euro market since they are created in the UK. Thanks to Brexit, we have to follow the rules of the EU for import tariffs.

Such a stunning publication! From the beautiful cloth cover that perfectly accentuates Brent Clark’s superb award-winning shot, to the carefully curated images and accompanying text – each page is a feast for the eyes. It’s also a fascinating time-capsule for nature photography and the nature photographers who are at the forefront of this style of photography. We look forward to the arrival of the NLPA book each year, and each year we are delighted by the quality of the publication when it arrives. Thank you!

An outstanding book featuring some of the finest nature and landscape photography. Books are still the best way to enjoy the work of other photographers and expand your vision, and this is an exceptional choice for both.
