WHITE NATURE

From Japan to the Alps, from the high plateaux of Norway to the radiant landscapes of Canada, Vincent Munier's brilliant eye and ingenious lens has captured fleeting glimpses of stunning wildlife and landscapes: swans, cranes, eagles, chamois, foxes and many other animals in the hush of their stunning, snow-bound habitats. Shadows, shapes, contours, and the occasional flash of colour are all that reveal the creatures huddled into the snow and braced against the wind, quite at one with the elements. AUTHOR: Vincent Munier's photographs have been exhibited in over thirty-five countries and his reportages published in magazines such as National Geographic. He became internationally known as an animal photographer after winning the Eric Hosking Award in the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in 2000, 2001 and 2002. Munier actively seeks out cold, wet regions conducive to the misty atmosphere and strange light effects that particularly appeal to him. Three-times winner of the Eric Hosking Award for BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Vincent Munier takes us on a tour of a silent, white world. His camera has seized unexpected touches of colour amongst the otherwise pristine white: a fiery yellow beak not quite muffled in the winter plumage, or the rich velvety brown of a chamois quivering in a pallid morning Exquisite photographs of enchanting Winter landscapes and the most serene beauty of nature 100 colour illustrations
