Description
South Island Wide by Peter Bush is a breathtaking photographic journey through New Zealand’s South Island, capturing the nation’s dramatic landscapes from the 1840s to the present. From the towering Kaikoura Ranges to the golden reflections of Lake Hayes, and from the wild West Coast to the panoramic vistas of Lake Wakatipu, Bush’s photographs reveal the extraordinary beauty and diversity of this remarkable island. This book traces the evolution of photography in New Zealand alongside the emergence of the country itself, offering both historical insight and visual splendour.
Bush’s vivid images and personal reflections make South Island Wide more than a coffee-table book—it is a love letter to the natural world and the art of capturing it on film. The book celebrates the joy of exploration, the thrill of discovering new perspectives, and the enduring power of New Zealand’s landscapes to inspire awe.
South Island Wide is perfect for photography enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone wishing to experience the South Island’s scenic grandeur from the comfort of home.
