NHM Shop 60 Years of Wildlife Photographer of the Year* Museum-related Books | Father’s Day

This sumptuous edition offers a feast for the eyes and food for thought. Sir David Attenborough perfectly captures the spirit of what this book celebrates and the impact we hope it brings:

‘Great pictures of nature have one thing in common – they are unforgettable. They can also be a profound source of beauty, wonder and joy. This is a collection of work from the competition that, over the past half century, has become an international showcase for the very best wildlife photography – images that have the power to affect how we feel about the natural world and therefore how we treat it. It’s a collection that will make you think.’

As well as groundbreaking portraits, breathtaking aerial shots, otherworldly underwater imagery and revelatory close-up exposures, this volume charts the technological development of nature photography from the first hand-held cameras to the latest camera drones.

Through the accompanying captions and background stories, it also reveals the vision, talent and passion of the world’s leading photographers of wildlife and the natural environment. Enjoy exploring.
