Designed for photographers - amateurs and enthusiasts alike - or anyone curious about the landscapes, culture, and seasonal moods of this alpine region, this new edition features over 100 locations, the majority are roadside or accessible by short walks or cable cars making it useful for photographers of all mobility levels, with a good collection of more committing and remote locations for the adventurous. 'Over the last two decades, I've had the pleasure of exploring the Dolomites high and low, through the day and night, in summer and winter, climbing, ski mountaineering and hiking. My discoveries and favourite places are detailed in this guide; I hope you find it a useful resource that serves as a creative catalyst to one of my favourite places in the world. The images I've selected are designed to inspire your own personal interpretations of these beautiful places and I would encourage every photographer to exercise their own unique style while using this book as a reference point. The contents are by no means exhaustive and despite this being the second edition and my fourth Dolomite guidebook to the region, I do not doubt that there is still so much here that I have yet to discover!
