With general tips and points about equipment, fieldcraft and techniques, this fabulously-illustrated book of over 200 colour images seamlessly aligns photography with creative suggestions around mindfulness, wellbeing and holism to create a blueprint for all, and especially anyone experiencing poor mental or physical health, who would like to express themselves creatively in the natural world.
Powerful words from the heart mix with breathtaking, unique and original images of some of Britainâs most elusive wildlife (and tantalising shots from photographic forays further afield) taken by an award-winning photographer and trauma survivor.
Join Paul Williams on his journey from rock bottom â and three suicide attempts â to his rediscovery of a life worth living; filled, as it is, with the wonder of wildlife, captured in his stunning images, and a new-found sense of peace and wellbeing.
Born in the Lake District, Paul's love for wildlife and landscapes stems from being surrounded by the wildness, diversity and beauty that Cumbria offers in abundance.
Paul joined the military at the age of 17, where he excelled in combat and intense physical roles. He went on to do a degree in mental health and later joined the police until PTSD and physical injuries forced him to leave in 2014. Paul is now a full time landscape and wildlife photographer, and has won a number of prestigious national and international photographic awards, as well as appearing on national television, and featuring regularly on radio.Â
