Mountain photography

Mountain photography is mostly landscape photography which is naturally, best presented in a landscape format. Terrain photography in the new books is a useful blend of aerial and land-based images. This results in a better understanding of the terrain as well as a real-life view as viewed by the skier on the ground.

• Full-page (8.5” x 5.5”) high-resolution photos
• 17” x 5.5” double-page spreads
• Mindfully researched and carefully selected photos from various angles:
• Aerial photos for overview
• Mid-level ground and aerial photos for detailed terrain view
• Low-level ground photos for the approach view
