A Sense of Nature (English-Chinese Edition): A Wildlife Photography Collection by Cheng Yan

A Sense of Nature (English-Chinese Edition): A Wildlife Photography Collection by Cheng Yan

Big Cats, Forests and Plains, Polar Spirits, Wings on the Air and Pandas — Over 100 Photographs from a World-Touring Exhibition, Paired with Haiku, in Chinese and English
This is a photography book, not an animal encyclopedia, and not a travel guide. Cheng Yan is a Chinese artist and photographer based in the UK, and his work brings an Eastern philosophical eye to wildlife: tigers in moonlight, snow leopards on rock ledges, penguins against ice, a kingfisher mid-dive. The book collects some of his most popular images from exhibitions around the world, arranged in five sections—big cats, forests and plains, polar regions, birds, and pandas—with short haiku accompanying the photographs. The result is a book to look through slowly, to feel rather than to study. If you want a beautiful, bilingual photography collection about the living world—rather than a field guide with species data or a coffee-table book with no text at all—this is it.

About the Book:
This ancient philosophical sentiment sets the stage for this captivating collection. A Sense of Nature is not merely a photo album; it is a visual meditation on the concept of “Tian Ren He Yi”—the harmony between humanity and the universe.-2-5

This exquisite hardcover volume brings together the most celebrated works from the world tours of artist and photographer Cheng Yan. Drawing from his unique perspective as a Chinese artist based in the UK, the imagery carries a distinct blend of Eastern philosophy and raw natural observation.-2-3

The collection is thoughtfully divided into evocative sections, including:

  • Beauty of the Big Cats: Intimate portraits of tigers, snow leopards, and lions.

  • Forests and Plains: The quiet grandeur of elephants and other woodland creatures.

  • Polar Regions: The resilient spirits of penguins and polar bears.

  • Wings on the Air: The delicate grace of kingfishers and other birds.

  • Pandas: A focused look at China‘s most beloved ambassador of wildlife.

Each photograph is accompanied by elegant haiku-style verses, inviting the reader to pause and reflect on the profound beauty of wild existence. This bilingual edition makes it a meaningful gift for nature lovers, photography enthusiasts, and anyone cherishing the shared bond of life on Earth.-2-5-12
