Dan Bailey bought his first camera over twenty years ago, and since that time, he's refined a system for carrying his gear and shooting while hiking, climbing mountains, riding his bike, skiing deep powder, and exploring remote places in the world. In his eighteen years as a working pro adventure photographer, his imagery has been published by a variety of national clients and magazines such as Backpacker magazine, Outside Magazine, National Geographic Adventure, Nikon, Fujifilm, Fox Searchlight Pictures, The North Face, Patagonia, Coleman, Marmot, Rock & Ice, Outdoor Photographer, Digital Photo Pro, Alaska Magazine, and The New York Times.
This new title from Dan Bailey aims to help photographers think geometrically and pull together all the elements that make for a successful shot, all while being immersed in the action and having just a second to get it all right. This isn't one of those coffee table books to inspire you through pages of large images, but rather a book to read, write all over and use in a practical sense. It's a text book, a reference guide, one that any budding adventure photographer will benefit from. - Shutter Hub From the first sentence, you just know this is a professional talking - and a professional with a passion for his work. I don't know many people who are both crazy talented at photography, and are also able to pen a seriously gripping book. Trust me, Dan Bailey is one of those few. [...] Dan's mastered the art, and the quality of his images, as well as the publications (Outside Magazine, National Geographic Adventure, The New York Times, etc.) in which his imagery appears, are all testament to that. - Outdoor Chics
