On My Bookshelf - Mesozoic by Sam Gregory
Landscape Photography Inspiration
As many of my regular readers will know I love a good photography book. Lots of those books are from photographers that I admire and feature photographs of a style that I like to take. However, I am a firm believer that by looking at photographs that are from a different style or even a different genre of photography I can l still learn from them and improve my own photography.
This is why I decided to purchase Mesozoic by Sam Gregory. Sam describes the book as a visual abstraction of the Mesozoic period. The photographs contain within the book are not the type of photographs I would normally take but I believe that by studying the photographs in this book that my own photography will be inspired and maybe even influenced.
Hopefully, that video has given you a better understanding of why I purchased the book and you’ll consider picking up a copy yourself (which you can do directly from Sam’s website here). Don’t forget that Sam is a co-host in one of my favourite photography podcasts, The Togcast. Check it out here and those long drives to your next landscape photography destination will fly by!
