Although this book's geographic direction - in terms of north to south coverage - is fairly typical of many scenic books about New Zealand, the 120-plus images depicted in this glorious collection are anything but typical. The composition and the colours in particular are stunningly original, creating a 'private view' of New Zealand as seen through the lens of this distinctive photographer. Informative captions accompany each image.
