Looking At Trees: New Photography of Trees, Forests & Woodlands by Sophie Howarth is a big hardback book. 237x285mm. 224 pages. I know what you may be thinking so let’s clear that up. The publisher, Hoxton Mini Press, plants at least one tree for the order of this book and all its books are carbon offset. Throughout the pages the reader is introduced to the work of 24 photographers of varying nationalities who’ve committed part of their career to chronicling timber. The pages take the viewer across the globe from the UK, USA, Madagascar, Morocco, Tonga, Sicily, Australia, Germany, Japan and South Africa. From the jungles of Brazil to valleys of Romania. Canadian forests to lava fields of Iceland.
