'New Zealand Landscapes' is the first major publication devoted to the work of Andris Apse, one of New Zealand's most successful and innovative landscape photographers. The 'New Zealand Landscapes' collection of over 100 photographs draws together the best of Andris' images patiently crafted during 20 years of work throughout New Zealand and its sub-antarctic islands. This hard back edition is bound in tooled possum skin with antiqued ribbed spine and marbled endpapers. This is a special collectors edition in handcrafted leather binding supplied in a variety of colour combinations for the cover, spine and endpapers. All New Zealand's major landscape elements are represented in these photographs, with chapters on the coastline, lowland wilderness, pastoral land, the high country, mountains and islands.

Andris Apse was amongst the first in New Zealand to use the modern wide format "panoramic" cameras, and this book is an elegant illustration of how well this format portrays the expansiveness and sense of space that are such potent elements in the New Zealand landscape. These photographs also illustrate Andris Apse's mastery of the camera, built on his ability to combine a high level of technical understanding and skill with a strong aesthetic appreciation of the qualities of light and its play on the land.
