Land of Light - Collectors Edition Book
- Peter Latham
Peter Latham is a world-renowned photographer working in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Peter is excited to release his second book of New Zealand landscape photographs "LAND OF LIGHT"
LAND OF LIGHT, my long awaited 2nd book has arrived and I'm thrilled with the results, it's stunning. Beautifully crafted with 232 pages of outstanding print quality, this personally signed Collector's Edition tips the scales at 2.2kg and its presentation box is a work of art as well, adding an extra 0.5kg!
If you thought you knew New Zealand, be prepared to be shocked and amazed. From pristine pohutukawa fringed beaches in the north, to snow capped mountains and alpine lakes of the south, I've invested extraordinary energies to showcase many of the country’s off-shore islands as well, including Chatham and Pitt, the Aldermens, Great Barrier and Stewart Island. This unique book portrays the breadth and beauty of New Zealand like you have never seen before and includes dozens of breath-taking double page panoramas.
I’ve invested almost 1000 hours in designing, writing and editing, all with meticulous attention to detail. Carefully selected satin paper achieves the critically correct balance of quality versus weight and extensive image proofing has ensured the highest standards of colour balance and accuracy, further enhanced by slowing the offset printing process to optimise reproduction - the end result is nothing short of outstanding.
From the moment you see its handmade box with embossed silver foil lettering, you'll be impressed. Lift the lid to reveal the book and you’ll say "wow", as you hold it in your hands and feel the weight, turning the first pages will confirm what your senses already told you, this is something very special.
The INSIGHTS TECHNIQUE chapter provides technical information and stories that reveal how I photographed my most iconic images, with references to videos on this website that allow you to actually experience being there as I captured some of these. This has been a true labour of love, a mammoth self-publishing project and one which I'm very proud of.
