Details: Product Description Photographer Dave Brosha’s follow up to Northern Light accentuates the beautiful, fragile, and remote landscapes of Earth’s southernmost regions. When one thinks of the most remote place on Earth, Antarctica is a strong candidate for many people. It's a remarkably isolated place, a place with some of the harshest weather systems on the planet, and a place that is both prohibitively expensive and logistically challenging to travel to. Despite this challenging persona, Antarctica is home to some of the most stunning beauty on the planet - home to an abundance of thriving and diverse wildlife populations and incredibly dramatic landscapes. In this collection of photographs from Antarctica and it's geographic neighbours, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, respected nature and portrait photographer and writer, Dave Brosha, turns his attention to documenting one of the "ends of the Earth" in the hope of bringing attention and focus to one of our world's most pristine and beautiful areas. Review Praise for Southern Light: “These remarkable images bring home the fact that the Antarctic is in some ways a different planet, full of remarkable lights, shapes, forms; and at the same time it is deeply, beautifully connected with the rest of the globe’s biology and climate. Understanding its unique place is crucial to making progress in protecting the Earth.” ―Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature; Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet; and numerous other bestselling titles “What Dave Brosha seems to see and understand and convey is the unique quality of light in one of our planet’s most spectacular locations. Well done!” ―Camille Seaman, author of Melting Away: A Ten-Year Journey Through Our Endangered Polar Regions “I was transported to a place I didn’t want to leave! This book is visual poetry… a journey to an area so beautiful it has been known to transform people’s lives. Dave Brosha has a unique way of bridging the gap between traditional photography and a more modern twist on the art form. His images are sometimes simple and classically beautiful, while at other times fresh and truly innovative. Seeing this place through Dave’s eyes is a gift, and I’m thankful to have this book as a reminder of the beauty that exists in the world and our collective responsibility to care for it.” ―Wayne Simpson, author of Resilient: The Portraiture of Wayne Simpson “In Southern Light, photographer Dave Brosha builds upon his earliest inspiration from his Arctic roots to delve beyond the literal as he reflects on the essence of a place, transporting us on a journey with him through the “Holy Trinity” of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula. Through the visual themes of Wildlife, Land & Sea, and Black & White, his photographs evoke a feeling for this most unique and important natural region of our world.” ―Scott Forsyth, author of The Wild Coasts of Canada “To anyone who has had the privilege to journey to these remote and pristine landscapes, as well as to those of us aspiring to go there, the journey itself is very much an important component of the experience, as Dave Brosha brilliantly captures in the final theme of Documentary. For many of us these pages may be the closest we will ever get to these uniquely beautiful locations, and through his portrait of them we become intimately acquainted with ‘Southern Light.’” ―Scott Forsyth author of The Wild Coasts of Canada “Southern Light showcases Dave Brosha’s astonishing skill set as a photographer. Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falklands are difficult destinations to photograph and do not offer the artist much freedom to roam, nor much time to go through his creative process. Yet Dave Brosha possesses a gift for assessing photographic opportunities within a fraction of a second, and adapting his approach, which makes him perfectly suited to capture these stunning and remote environments and bring them to the world.
