One of the big names in southern Africa, but only after I first laid my hands on his book "The Kalahari - Survival in a Thirstland Wilderness", I really got to know and admire his work.

A talented award winning Dutch nature photographer with a most interesting portfolio including some very impressive seal and artic fox images amongst many others.
Marsel van Oosten

Lee Frost
Lee is a well known English landscape photographer who has also written many successful photography books. It is from those books that I have learned so many basic facts and techniques about photography. I would therefore recommend them to any beginning and advanced photographer who wishes to increase his or her skills and knowledge. Though Lee is known mainly as a landscape photographer, he in fact is a very good all-rounder.
