Illuminating Nature:
Chasing Light Across the Landscape
Discover the beauty of the American landscape through a dazzling tapestry of more than 60 stunning photographs
Jon Reynolds is a seeker. As a child he spent countless hours searching for the source of the creek on his grandfather’s Central Kentucky farm. In adulthood he has spent more than a decade traversing the United States in search of the perfect shot. For Reynolds photography is a pursuit of love: for the mountains and rivers, sunrises and sunsets, the stars and the moon in the night sky. In Illuminating Nature his mesmerizing photographs—waves crashing on Acadia’s Boulder Beach, the icy expanse of the Dakota Badlands, a solar eclipse tracking above the Utah desert—invite you to share in this admiration. Complete with the photographer’s reflections on the peace we find in nature, the importance of planning and equal power of serendipity, and his tips for getting the shot, Illuminating Nature is a testament to seeking to understand and illuminate the beauty that surrounds us all.

“I have never waited patiently for the perfect shot in the golden hour on a mountaintop, or seen a storm unleashed across a red desert, or glimpsed the Milky Way through a gap in the clouds, but the glorious photographs in this book make me feel as though I have been in all those magical places. In Illuminating Nature, Jon Reynolds is doing far more than chasing light. He is also chasing delight. And he is taking us with him every step of the way."
