"To look at Oliver Hellowell's photography is to see the natural
world through his eyes." - Boudicca Fox-Leonard, The Telegraph "In
Ollie's hands [...] the camera is more than a mere instrument; it
is an extension of his inquisitive mind." - Iolo Williams From
flower-filled forests to ancient castles and isolated lochs, from
the concrete jungle to the play of sunlight across the sea, the
latest book from award-winning young photographer Oliver Hellowell
captures Britain at its most beautiful. The British landscape is
renowned for its infinite moods. Oliver's photography celebrates
this, capturing rain-jewelled flowers and haunting, mist-shrouded
ruins. Perhaps the most charming aspect of his work is his ability
to highlight overlooked beauty. To some, the dandelion is nothing
but a weed - but Oliver finds a worthwhile subject in even the
humblest wildflower. Insightful commentary reveals the inspiration
behind each of Oliver's pictures. An ode to the British Isles from
a passionate young photographer, every page demonstrates the
enthusiasm and talent that endeared Oliver to his worldwide
following. Also available: Oliver's Birds ISBN 9781788840101
