Galen Rowell's Inner Game of Outdoor Photography

In this renowned guide to capturing the outdoor world on film, Galen Rowell, the connoisseur of outdoor and adventure photography, reveals the art, craft and philosophy behind his world-famous images in this stunningly illustrated book. Since it's original publication almost ten years ago, this groundbreaking work remains both an inspired manual to taking better pictures and an inspiring journey of discovery into the creative process. In more than 140 color photographs and 66 essays, Rowell shows how he transformed the natural world around him into vivid, memorable works of art. He covers everything from the practical and immensely helpful technicalities of how to pack equipment lightly and use the correct flash to the more theoretical concerns of imagining a photograph before pulling out the camera and immersing oneself fully into this natural and artistic quest. Both the artist and his unique talent come alive in these pages, a tribute to the ways in which his photographs, philosophy, and vision immeasurably enrich those who view his work.
