Dolomiti Dreamscapes by Sam Gregory - On My Bookshelf S05E05
On My Bookshelf is back and, in this episode, I'm looking at Sam Gregory's 2nd book, Dolomiti Dreamscapes. The book is a personal collection of images inspired by Sam's travels around the Dolomites. But is this book of unique photographs of the Dolomites a book for your bookshelf?
On My Bookshelf is Back!
After a short break, I’m pleased to announce that On My Bookshelf is back! Over the last month, I’ve been stocking my bookshelf with lots of exciting titles from Kozu Books and fotoVUE. However, before I share with you my thoughts on that lot, let’s talk about a very exciting book from Sam Gregory.
A Dream Within a Dream
If you’ve been watching On My Bookshelf for a while, you may remember that back in 2020, I looked at Mesozoic by Sam Gregory. It was a book I thoroughly enjoyed, so when Sam announced he was publishing a new book called Dolomiti Dreamscapes, I need no encouragement to get the credit card out and order one.
Now that I have the book, what is it like? Is it a good addition to my bookshelf? Let’s find out in the latest episode of On My Bookshelf.
I hope you enjoyed this episode of On My Bookshelf, and if you want to pick up a copy of this book, you can order one direct from Sam’s website - samgregory-photography.com/dreamscapes-book
But don’t wait too long. Production is limited to 200 copies!

Mesozoic by Sam Gregory - On My Bookshelf S03E05
Welcome to another episode of On My Bookshelf, and in this episode, I look at 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!
