6 AMAZING Landscape Photography Books to Inspire Your Photography

Looking for a little inspiration for you landscape photography? Here are six amazing books on landscape photography that are sure to inspire your photography.

A Chance to Review What is On My Bookshelf

Over the last couple of months, I’ve had the chance to spend a lot time with my collection of photography books. While I would have much preferred to be out and about with my camera, getting the chance to look at some of my favourite photography books again is far from a waste of time.

Even on the second read, or in some cases third or fourth, I can still find inspiration and knowledge for my landscape photography in these books. This normally indicates that there is something special about them.

As I suspect I might not be the only person with a little more home time on their hands at the moment, I thought I might compile a list of my six favourite books on landscape photography and share it with you.

All the books in this list have already featured in episodes of On My Bookshelf (OMBS) so there’s a video to go with each of my recommendations.

Let me know in the comments below if you have any of the books. Happy browsing!

Beara by Norman McCloskey - On My Bookshelf S02E04

Some landscape photography books stand out from the rest.  Beara is one of those books.

Discovering Beara

I'm not sure if I was aware of the work of Norman McCloskey before I got Beara, but I do know how I discovered Beara.  I was flicking through the March 2019 issue of Outdoor Photography magazine when I spotted a feature on the book.  As luck would have it my wife had been asking me what I wanted for my birthday so I asked her to get me a copy of Beara

Obviously, the sample pictures in the magazine were enough for me to want a copy but it wasn't until I actually got the book and read it that I realised what a fantastic collection of landscape photographs Norman had put together. 

Anyway, I don't want to reveal all my thoughts here on the blog.   Instead, why don't you check out the latest episode of On My Bookshelf and let me tell you a little more about Beara.

I do hope you enjoyed this episode of On My Bookshelf .  Will you be picking up a copy of Beara?  Have you been to the Beara Peninsula?  Let me know in the comments below.

PS - You can pick up a copy of Beara direct from the author by clicking on this link here.
