Moods of Nature is the black, white and orange sequel to the acclaimed art books Reflection, Shades of Nature and Art of Nature by Heinrich van den Berg.
Moods of Nature is daring and original. The photography is unique and powerful. The text, in caption format, is a mixture of poetry and philosophy; it complements the images in an extraordinary manner. There is a depth in the visual images that the viewer will only fully appreciate by reading the accompanying words.
As with Shades of Nature, Van den Berg has stripped the images of all colour. By doing so, he has managed to magically add an extra layer to them. In addition, he uses orange as the colour representing mood. Images of that colour dramatically emphasise the black and white medium.
Moods of Nature has depth in thought, design and imagery. It is a work of gravity and imagination that transcends photographic preconceptions and elevates wildlife photography to a new level.
Author Biography
Heinrich van den Berg is an international award-winning wildlife photographer, and is also an accomplished writer and publisher. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Van den Berg is well known for pushing the boundaries of photography to create explosive images that are as beautiful as they are emotive.
Van den Berg heads his own publishing company, HPH Publishing, and has successfully published over 20 full-colour wildlife titles since 2001. His books are highly acclaimed for both their quality and content.
Along with other photographs from the HPH fold, Heinrich has featured prominently in numerous coffee-table books, calendars, magazine portfolios and other photographic publications worldwide. Both national and international magazines such as National Geographic, GEO, TERRA, Terra Sauvage, the New York Times, the Times of London, Getaway, Africa Geographic, Go!, and numerous others have published HPH work.
Van den Berg also shares his photography knowledge through exclusive workshops held in various parts of southern Africa.
Nowadays every person carrying a professional camera and expensive lenses tend to be a wildlife expert and have an opinion on the elephant populations and management criteria in our reserves - often providing simplistic solutions to very complex problems. Then, along comes a book like "Let Elephants Roam" and you realize the value of having quality photographs combined with scientific data that is beautifully presented in a quality book form, by a true expert. This book will be among the finest - and most cherished - in my collection.
So much information in this book. I was in the Kruger mid Feb and it would have been awesome to have had this book then. Can't wait for next visit and will have my new source of information with me for sure
Baie oulike boek met interessante feite wat jy nie sommer in ander bronne sal raakloop nie. Ongelukkig bevat die inhoudsopgawe slegs die spesie-name in Engels. Die Afrikaanse name word wel by elke spesie se beskrywing vermeld. Anders sou ek 5 sterre gegee het.
Excellent reading, great amount of detail, insight's & recommendations, etc.
Well done!

Kruger Birds Revised Edition
Excellent purchase, loved the format with the pics in the bird sections up front and then then listings and the index at the back. The listings could have included a bit more information on the birds. Size of book is perfect. Love it.
