Aimed at all photographers with an interest in gardens, from amateurs who need to learn techniques to professionals wanting to hone their skills, this book is illustrated with the author's own work. He leads the reader through the variety of approaches to garden photography, analyzing vistas, close-ups and abstracts, and offering advice on coping with light and weather to produce the best results, whatever the conditions. There are also insights into the practicalities of making a living from photography. Clive Nichols's photographs of English gardens have appeared in leading magazines, and in 1992 exhibitions of his work were held in at the Ilford Gallery in London, and at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The profusion of stunning garden images presented here may seem to indicate a strictly horticultural theme, but Nichols' color photographs are accompanied by plenty of practical photographic advice. These photographs of private and public gardens throughout England capture sublime vistas and celebrate the pure poetry of a single flower. Nichols describes the type of film, equipment, and techniques used for each image; his comments should inspire beginners who are keen on similar subject matter. Gardeners with an eye toward capturing the fleeting beauty in their own yard should relish this manual, and individuals with photographic expertise will find detailed advice and suggestions for particularly challenging situations and seasonal conditions. Nichols even offers tips on how to sell and market garden photography. Alice Joyce

This man turns garden photography into an art form.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Photographing Plants & Gardens (Paperback)
There are ways of photographing pants which show the subject quite adequately for what it is. Then there are ways of photographing plants which brings the resultant picture to life in such a way as to almost reproduce the subject's very scent. Clive Nichols' photographs fall into the latter category.
In a book thoughtfully divided into extensive sections on; Equipment, Techniques, Weather, Four Seasons and finally Plants & Gardens, we are taken on a journey which covers every aspect of this subject. Whilst many of the pictures are clearly from large and extensive gardens, others are of a pile of leaves or a close-up of a particular flower that could so easily have been in my garden or yours. The point is, we are shown how to photograph gardens as well as flowers and that is all we can ask of any book on the subject. A worthy addition to the photographer's bookshelf - and perhaps a subject to consider when in-between assignments. NM
