Photographing
the Southwest
is the result of author Laurent Martrès' 20 years of
experience in exploring and photographing the Southwest.
These guidebooks allow a wide range of people (from
car-based families to extreme hikers and from casual
point-&-shootists to advanced amateur photographers) to
find the best places to see and photograph. The best
location, the most beautiful angle and the best time of the
day will be just as useful for the non-photographer.
The
sheer amount of textual and pictorial content would make it
impractical to print a single book... as well as to carry it
in the field. A glance at the book immediately reveals the
large amount of informatiom. Also, there is a 3rd Volume in
the works...

"
Land of the Canyons " is available in three languages
(English, German and French). It is essentially a subset of
" Photographing the Southwest ". Content is limited
to Southern Utah & Northern Arizona. It is a less
expensive alternative (of the same high standards of
quality), easier to carry in the field and well-suited to
short car-based trips.
These
guidebooks have a "visual" approach. They group all the
sites presenting an obvious pictorial interest under various
geographical areas. This helps you previsualize them, thanks
to a concise description and abundant illustrations - an
important requirement for quality photography. They not only
show you how to get there, they offer tips on how and when
to take the best possible pictures. They intentionally leave
out standard guidebook material such as food and lodging, as
this is best found in generic travel guidebooks.
It
's very likely you've already planned a general itinerary
with the help of a traditional guidebook. The Southwest is
so rich in extraordinary landscapes that it's impossible to
see them all in one trip, unless you have lots of time on
your hands. The PhotoTripUSA guidebooks are organized
regionally so that you may target a specific geographic
area. The CD-ROMs
offer additional help in choosing the best location to suit
your interests. I strongly encourage you to order
them.
If
you're not a photographer, you'll find in this book lots of
information that more traditional guides leave out. The most
beautiful angle and the best time of the day to view a site
are equally as valuable for seeing with your own eyes as for
photography. This book is for everyone with a passion for
the Southwest.
I
am proud of the quality of information contained in the
guides and I'm confident it will meet your expectations. I
have received hundreds of e-mails thanking me for the
quality of the information in my books. I also hear it
constantly from people I meet eveywhere..I know you won't be
disappointed by the books, however I understand it can be
tough to make a decision without holding the actual book in
your hand. You can read
an entire chapter
in the form of a PDF file to get a feel for the quality and
depth of these guidebooks. Also, check the Amazon.com pages
