One Man's Love affair with his Country (Ian Brodie's New Zealand)

Ian Brodie is passionate about life, Tolkien, photography, cars, trains, old planes, movies, flowers, gardens, mountains . . . and New Zealand.

Best known for his internationally bestselling movie guidebooks, he has been highly praised for his photographs of the locations of The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, and behind the scenes of the first epic Narnia movies. In 2007 he won the inaugural Yahoo!Xtra Flickr competition entitled ?Kiwis Take on the World?, and was inspired to combine his photographic skills with his love of his home country.

The result is a very different photographic collection, a superbly beautiful, personalised pictorial journey through the physical, cultural and emotional landscapes of one man?s perception of what it means to live in New Zealand.

As well as showcasing the physical beauty and diversity of New Zealand, the exquisite visual experience is personalised with aspects of Kiwi culture which reflect the many passions of New Zealand?s ultimate fan.
