“A breathtaking and emotive journey across our planet." - Outdoor Photography

"van Oosten provides plenty of technical details and anecdotes about how he took his pictures, as well as explanations about the subjects they face." - Nigel Atherton, Amateur Photographer

An elephant, a waterfall, a tree. For award-winning nature photographer Marsel van Oosten, simplicity is the ultimate form of expression. Through singular subjects and pared-down motifs, he captures the beauty, diversity, and vulnerability of the natural world. This visually stunning volume begins with photographs from Africa before moving through all the continents. The alternations between landscapes and close-ups, colour and black-and white photographs, create a stunning, emotive journey across the planet we call home.
