A Wild Life is a tribute to the outdoor photography of New Zealand's leading tramping author and photographer, Shaun Barnett. For the past 30 years, Shaun Barnett wrote about and photographed the New Zealand backcountry, becoming the leading tramping author of his generation.

He contributed countless articles to many publications and edited both Wilderness magazine and the Federated Mountain Club's widely read Bulletin. Additionally, he produced many significant books on tramping and backcountry culture, including his bestselling guides, Tramping in Aotearoa and Daywalks in New Zealand.

A Wild Life is a tribute to his photographic career, offering an inspiring collection of photographs that detail a life devoted to the outdoors. These images capture the places that New Zealanders love to explore, with a particularly strong focus on the axial ranges of the North Island, often neglected in books on tramping.

Additionally, there are many photographs of his beloved backcountry huts, as well as images of people in these environments.

Shaun Barnett has a large following in the outdoor community, and anyone with affection for our wilderness will strongly relate to this beautiful book.
