UTAH by Fred Hirschmann is one of the most exquisite coffee table books I have ever seen! The large, hardback book has over 200 of the most breath-taking images you can imagine. In the last few pages of the book Hirschmann, a world-renowned outdoors and wildlife photographer, tells how he shot the images, which cameras, lenses, and film he used (information for other real photographers.) For the rest of us, the photographs are given simple labels telling where in Utah they were shot. Utah is known to have the most unique and the most photographed landscapes in the United States, so it is difficult for a photographer to find views that are different. However, Hirschmann is an intrepid hiker and extremely patient in waiting for the perfect conditions for the photo he imagines. Most people will think the amazing photos in this book have been enhanced or shot with special filters to get the brilliant colors, but they have not. Hirschmann is just that great a photographer who knows how to choose the scenes and how to capture the perfect light. This is an incredible book. Give yourself or a friend this gift today.

This book is definitely a worthy of coffee table status. The pictures are gorgeous! A nice introduction to the diverse scenery in this interesting state.

I bought this book after I had just completed a driving trip around Utah as it reminded me of all the places that I saw that completely blew me away with how beautiful they were. There is so much to see and do - and you don't come across a lot of people who have been there - but show them this book and they agree - it is one of the places on earth that you SHOULD see! I'm going back again as I've found more places to go to from this book ....
