On This Earth: Photographs from East Africa This is a vision of Africa quite unlike any that have come before: photographs of wildlife as Fine Art. Nick Brandt depicts the animals of East Africa with an intimacy and artistry unmatched by other photographers who choose wildlife as their subject. The pictures in On This Earth portray a world of drama and poignancy, where the very souls of the animals seem to be revealed to us. Brandt creates these majestic photos, whether of moments of quintessential stillness or bursts of dramatic action, by engaging with these animals on an exceptionally intimate level, without the customary use of a telephoto lens. Evocative of classical art, from dignified portraits to sweeping natural tableaux, Brandt artfully and simply captures animals in their natural state of being. With a foreword by acclaimed novelist Alice Sebold and an introduction by Jane Goodall, On This Earth is a gorgeous portrait of some of the last wild animals, and a heartfelt elegy to a vanishing world.

The Fairest Cape: From the West Coast to the Garden Route From the wonders of the West Coast to the glory of the Garden Route and all that this scenic route incorporates, the cityscape of the central business district, the famed flat-topped mountain, its waterfront, Robben Island and the string of suburban settlements that runs the length of the peninsula's rocky spine, the Cape, with the splendour of its adjoining winelands and beyond to the Overberg and the Little Karoo, remains the jewel in the crown that is Africa. Captured here in image and words is a celebration not only of the natural splendour of the city and its surrounds, but of the many people and the cultures they have introduced to the Mother City, from the ancient San to the cosmopolitan citizens of the modern and vibrant city of today.

Don McCullin in Africa Don McCullin's reputation stands as one of the greatest war photographers of our times. In recent years he has photographed the landscape surrounding his home in Somerset, but his later travels have taken him to some of the most remote regions in the world. His skill in photographing people in extreme situations has enabled him to mix with tribes on the edges of civilisation. His work among the people of Irian Jaya, including cannibals, appeared in his last book, Don McCullin. McCullin's new work in Africa reaches one of the last corners of the earth where signs of outside influence are few, though they appear ominously significant. Over the last two years Don McCullin has travelled south from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia to the valley of the Omo River leading down to the border with Sudan. There he has entered the tribal lands of the Surma, the Gheleb, the Bume, the Erbore, the Bene, the Bodi, the Karo, the Hamar and the Mursi. Extraordinary body paints decorate many of their bodies. Metalwork adorns their limbs, and, in the case of the Mursi, huge circular plates extend their lower lips and piercings open up large holes in their ear lobes. Africa Photography.
