A Guide to the Natural Landmarks of Southern Utah, By Laurent Martres
Simply the best photographic guides to this amazing scenery
If you’re planning a tour of the American Southwest these brilliant books are simply the best possible guide to what to photograph, and how. In three volumes Martres guides you to all the photographic highlights of Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. At the well known tourist spots he tells you what and when to shoot for best results, but he’s also not afraid to take you off the beaten path to some less frequently visited scenic gems.
I’ve just completed a photographic holiday following roughly the traditional “grand circle” route, and I couldn’t have got some of my most successful shots without these books.

The Making of Forty Photographs, By Ansel Adams
A charming insight into the soul of a great photographer
There are many great books about photography, of which this is just one, but there are relatively few books about how to be a great photographer. On the latter topic this book is exceptional.
Ansel Adams was clearly both a gentleman and a gentle man, who lived to create great images for the pleasure and education of others. We are exceptionally lucky that he left us both his wonderful pictures, but also a few books which explain not only how, but also why some of them were created.
