Land of Light is Peter Latham’s highly anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed first book Looking for the Light (2017), which set a new benchmark for New Zealand landscape photography publishing. With Land of Light, Peter set out to go even further - pushing scale, detail, and production quality to create a truly definitive photographic tribute to Aotearoa.
Captured over several years of exploration, the book brings together an extraordinary body of work made on remote mountain tops, off-shore islands, and in some of New Zealand’s most far-flung and challenging locations. Each photograph is united by Peter’s relentless pursuit of light - those fleeting moments where weather, atmosphere, and landscape align to reveal something remarkable.
The creation of Land of Light was as considered as the journeys behind it. Throughout 2024, Peter immersed himself in the design, writing, editing, and meticulous refinement of the book, ensuring every image and page met the highest possible standard. The result is a beautifully crafted photography book that celebrates the diversity, drama, and luminous beauty of New Zealand’s landscapes - an essential addition for collectors, photography lovers, and anyone drawn to the power of place.
