365 Photography Days tells the story of award-winning, freelance photographer Phil Gould, as he travels the globe in search of adventure. At the outset he sets himself the challenge of capturing a definitive image for each day, and these stunning photographs are accompanied by a journal-style commentary of the author s journey.

This is also a practical guide to photography techniques with hints and tips from an expert. Each day of the journey includes a photo tip, giving advice about everything from lighting techniques and camera settings, to groupings that work and images that sell.

From the majestic wildlife of the African plains and the awe-inspiring beauty of Antelope Canyon, Arizona, to the shanty towns of Rio de Janeiro and the plight of South African orphans, Phil details his journey with a refreshing honesty, humour and great compassion.

How exciting it is to pick up this book, and get a glimpse of the world through photos, and not have the expense or travel worries; just sit back and enjoy the view from one's living room chair. So many people are going to love this book, it takes you around the world to places one would normally not have an opportunity to see or to visit. Through photos Through Phil's lens, you get to see things that definitely will leave you with a 'WOW' moment.
