Author Biographies
Husband and wife award-winning photographersPhilip and Ingrid van den Bergshare a love of Africa and all its facets. It is their passion to capture unique moments in nature and share these with readers, through the pages of their wildlife books. Now retired from careers in environmental education and biological sciences, Philip and Ingrid have transformed a love of photography into a full-time "hobby", with several acclaimed wildlife books to their credit. With their extensive knowledge of the natural world coupled with their scientific backgrounds, they are an integral part of the HPH team of photographers and writers.
Heinrich van den Bergis an international award-winning wildlife photographer, and is also an accomplished writer and publisher. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Van den Berg is well known for pushing the boundaries of photography to create explosive images that are as beautiful as they are emotive.
Van den Berg heads his own publishing company,HPH Publishing, and has successfully published over 40 full-colour wildlife titles since 2001. His books are highly acclaimed for both their quality and content.
Heinrich and his wife Dana travel extensively in search of unique images, always with an eye for the unusual and a new perspective on the known world. Although Dana is a new addition to the team, she has already contributed substantially to the pool of photographs in the HPH Image Library.
Along with other photographs from the HPH fold, Heinrich has featured prominently in numerous coffee-table books, calendars, magazine portfolios and other photographic publications worldwide. Both national and international magazines such asNational Geographic, GEO, TERRA, Terra Sauvage, the New York Times, the Times of London, Getaway, Africa Geographic, Go!and numerous others have published HPH work.
Van den Berg also shares his photography knowledge through exclusive workshops held across southern Africa.
A very well presented book on one of the most important yet often neglected aspects of WildLife photography. Suitable for all levels of photographic skills!

Knowledge is power
Love the book, really enjoyed the terminologies at the back to help me understand technical terms that I am not yet familiar with.
The explanations and photos really spiked my creativity and inspiration to go out and take photos!

This book is of interest to new and experienced twitchers alike. Spent many hours looking through the book while waiting at waterholes, and a useful tool to quickly identify the birds seen most often in the park. Excellent photographs and intersting background to the birds themselves
A long overdue publication! Next year we will be visiting the Kgalagadi for the 32nd time and we were always somewhat confused by especially some of the juvenile raptors. But not any more - the book is a brilliant guide and the images equally brilliant. Well done HPH on yet another winner!
