New Zealand Horizons by Andris Apse is a visual symphony that captures the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand through the lens of its most celebrated panoramic landscape photographer. This stunning collection presents an exploration of New Zealand's majestic vistas, epitomising the deep connection between land and light that defines Apse's work. With an exquisite eye for detail, Apse immortalises the essence of New Zealand’s natural beauty, creating a tableau that is both serene and awe-inspiring.

Andris Apse's reputation is distinguished on an international scale, known for images that radiate with vivid colour and exquisite lighting. In New Zealand Horizons, Apse showcases a new array of photographs that span the diverse and striking geography of New Zealand. Readers are transported to expansive beaches where the ocean meets the sky in a seemingly endless horizon, to verdant farmlands that stretch beyond the eye can see, and to the towering grandeur of glacier-fed lakes and rugged mountain peaks. Each image is a testament to the vast and varied landscape that New Zealand has to offer, captured with precision and artistic mastery.

The book is more than a collection of photographs; it is an invitation to experience the untouched beauty of New Zealand. Andris Apse's unparalleled ability to convey the spaciousness and tranquillity of the country through his lens ensures that New Zealand Horizons is not just a book, but a journey. This is a unique visual narrative created by one of the world’s foremost landscape photographers, providing an immersive experience into the serene and expansive wilderness of New Zealand.

About the Author

By the 1980s he was completely devoted to landscape photography and developing what has become one of this country's finest photographic libraries of landscape images. Andris Apse is a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers and has been the recipient of many New Zealand and international awards.
