Freeze Frame’s greatest success is that it feels fully steeped in Doug Allan’s
personality – fearless, fascinated and passionate about his subjects. Much like
the man himself, it’s a bit of a one off.
Freeze Frame is a stunning collection of the some of the most extraordinary
wildlife photographs you will ever see.
He accompanies each image
or portfolio with an account of how it was taken, in prose as fascinating as
the pictures. The reader shares the elation at capturing rare wildlife
behavior, and gets a real sense of what it’s like to stake out a penguin colony
at -30 C
Steve De Vere – wildlife cameraman:
A wonderful book full of
amazing photographs but what makes it truly outstanding are the fascinating and
detailed accounts that go with the images as well as stories behind some of the
most memorable wildlife sequences ever seen on television. Well worth waiting
30 years for!
D Pugh - reader
Incredible pictures, and
well put together with information and reminiscences.
It would be a shame if this
was just a coffee table book. Read it. Love it.
Keith Coulthard - reader:
A wonderful book, stuffed
with an amazing range of photographs taken by Doug. The text which accompanies
the photographs is informative and entertaining. The book is beautifully
printed and represents exceptional value.
