About the author

Charlie Waite is firmly established as one of the world’s leading Landscape photographers. His photographic style is often considered to be unique, in that his photographs convey an almost spiritual quality of serenity and calm. Charlie's photographs are held in private and corporate collections throughout the world, and he has held numerous solo exhibitions at prestigious venues in the UK, Japan and the USA.

With over 30 books to his name, Charlie's images are recognised around the world. Charlie was recently featured in Amateur Photographer Magazine's series Icons of Modern Photography, and his images have received wide critical acclaim over many years. A recent article in Royal West of England Academy Art Magazine featuring Charlie's work commented “Waite’s landscapes are rare perfections of light, colour and composition, and offer the viewer a luxuriant portrait of a planet at peace”.

In 2000 Charlie was awarded the prestigious honorary fellowship to the British Institute of Professional Photographers and in early 2007 was presented with Amateur Photography’s Power of Photography Award, which is given to a photographer whose work is deemed to effectively demonstrate the powerful and memorable images of which photography is capable. Also a sought after writer, public speaker and television presenter, Charlie has featured in numerous photographic and broadsheet publications, DVDs and television programmes on photography.

Reviews

[Scott Benowitz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every year, the companies which manufacture cameras and lenses as well as the companies which manufacture the various software that photographers use for processing the images that they capture continue to release new products which continue to become increasingly advanced every year.
Many images which had been very difficult for photographers to capture during the 35mm era of the 20th century as well as in the era of the earlier digital cameras during the early 2000's are now far easier for photographers throughout the world to capture. The ranges of colors as well as the resolution of the images that photographers capture continues to become increasingly advanced each year now.
And as the equipment which is available to photographers who practice photography in different countries throughout the world continues to become increasingly sophisticated, the images that photographers capture each year continues to become increasingly advanced.
if you enjoy viewing photos of landscapes in countries throughout the world, you will be thoroughly impressed with the Landscape Photographer of the Year Collection 16. All of the books in The Landscape Photographer of the Year series feature a combination of images which are comprised of nature scenes and photos which show man-made elements interacting with the backdrop of natural settings- i.e. photos which illustrate the visual interactions between roads, buildings, bridges, etc. and the hills, rivers, trees. forests, etc that the bridges. the roads, the buildings, etc. have been constructed in close proximity to.
