His tips on composition: perspective, cropping, lines, shapes, patterns, tones and contrast and capturing motion will inspire all amateur photographers. In addition, he provides advice on practical aspects such as how to choose a suitable camera and accessories, correct metering while on snow and at high altitude, and most important, how to stay safe in precarious shooting situations.
