Capturing the World
Nick Rains’s new book (his 10th) encompasses 30 plus years of photography experience within one cover. Nick discusses how he achieves the sorts of travel photos that earned him the award of Travel Photographer of the Year 2014 (Australian Insitute of Professional Photography) from the point of view of practical problem solving rather than what aperture or lens to use. Whilst there are some necessary technical ‘breakouts’, the main drive of the book is looking at how travel and documentary images are created and what thought processes go on before, during and after shooting along with some anecdotes from Nick’s travels.
