The ultimate photo book of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you love the Smokies, you need this book on your coffee table. It’s the ultimate photo tribute to the park. It’s all here: landscapes, flora, fauna, four seasons of glorious nature.”, Great Smoky Mountains National Park website.

In Their Love of Music photographer Steve Azzato has captured the essence of the creative spirit in the faces and words of the musicians themselves. Featuring portraits of 117 artists, the book takes a slightly different approach to music photography than typically seen. “The beauty of this project for me was being able to sit with a huge range of musicians and explore what drew them to their art”, says Azzato. “I was able to hear it in their voices and record it visually in their images”. In the simple quiet of a green room, without the crowds or bandmates or tour managers, Azzato’s photographs transcend the chaos of the stage and the intensity of the studio to reveal the inner spirit that drives each of his subjects. Winner of the International Book Award for Photography – People. ISBN: 978-0-9753954-3-1   11x 13″, 252 Pages, 117 artists images

“Richard has a sensitivity for light that’s pretty rare. He can coax a richness out of landscapes and low light conditions that you don’t see other photographers experiment with. His photographs have an emotional depth that is superior to a lot of other work. It’s the best large format photography book we’ve ever been able to offer our visitors.”– Steve Kemp
