In this episode, I review Daniel Bergmann's wonderful new book 'Birds in Iceland - A Visual Journey'. In case you want to skip the podcast (you shouldn't), I will give you the short of it - Buy it. It is a fabulous example of how a photographic book should be approached, designed and executed. Even more importantly, it's a visual journey of more than twenty years of outstanding bird photography by Iceland's leading bird photographer. This book transcends mere documentation and gives us wonderful insights into the genius of a master bird photographer.www.danielbergmann.comSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us?
