'Living Africa,' by Steve Bloom
About 'Living Africa,' by Steve Bloom:
While 'Africa: Continent of Contrasts' contains lots of lovely images, and more indepth text (Philip Briggs is after all the author of a handful of the Bradt guides), in our opinion the images do not come close to matching those within 'Living Africa'! It is visually spectacular!
This magnificent book captures the essence of colour and cultures across Africa today. It is a personal journey through the length and breadth of the continent by one of the most brilliant photographers of the living world.
teve Bloom achieves a breathtaking intimacy with this extraordinary continent in landscapes and wildlife from desert to jungle and human life from remote tribal village to teeming metropolis.
See silverback mountain gorillas deep in the Congolese rainforest; endangered black rhino drinking at a moonlit waterhole; a wildebeest calf in the moments after its birth; and an impala in the dramatic instant of its death.
The people we encounter are inspirational too: Ndebele women running community workshops; Mozambican migrant workers toiling in a gold mine three kilometres below ground; pilgrims in the ancient rock-hewn churches of northern Ethiopia; and fishermen on the Niger River at dawn.
Bloom combines vivid personal experience with a passionate articulation of the environmental and other challenges faced by Africa in the twenty-first century. Everywhere is apparent his deep affection and affinity for the continent where he grew up, and to which he has felt compelled to return throughout his life.
Steve Bloom grew up in South Africa. He is internationally renowned as a leading photographer of the living world.
