Living Africa (2008)

In this stunning new book, Steve Bloom expresses the essence and the diversity of Africa. From the tallest sand dunes in the world to the swirling markets of Ethiopia to the windswept rocks and gullies of South Africa‘s Table Mountain, he captures the colours and cultures of Africa today. In a series of essays, Bloom combines vivid personal experience with a passionate articulation of the challenges faced by Africa‘s people and environment in the 21st century. Everywhere is apparent his deep affection and affinity for the continent where he grew up, and to which he has felt compelled to return throughout his life.

Living Africa is also available as a Limited Edition Boxed Set. The book comes in a beautiful handmade box, limited to only 200, with one of three signed, individually created fine art matt prints, each in an edition of 66/67.

Trading Places:The Merchants of Nairobi (2009)

This photographic portrait of the merchants of Nairobi offers an encounter with a community rarely glimpsed by outsiders. Steve Bloom has ventured away from the centre of this dynamic African metropolis into neighbourhoods where malls and supermarkets have not yet penetrated. Here people buy their daily necessities locally, from small traders in their communities. Shopkeepers decorate their hoardings with hand-painted signs. The results are often delightfully quirky - an authentic form of popular street graphics.

Elephant! (2006)

In this joyous celebration, with photographs from the wildest outreaches of Botswana to the teeming cities of India, there are many surprises. The photographs include aerial shots from helicopters, the drama of battle between angry males, tender interaction between mothers and calves, the rich decorations of the elephants of India and astonishing shots of the elephant under water. If the eye is the window of the soul, then Steve Bloom looks straight into the eye of the elephant, delving deep into its psyche with his hauntingly beautiful images. Here is the ultimate book on the elephant, as intimate a photographic journey into the animal kingdom as has ever been made.

Spirit of the Wild (2006)

Steve Bloom's goal has been to search for the spirit of the world's wildlife: the tiger's eyes gleaming in the jungles of India; polar bear cubs seeing the world for the first time; the few mountain gorillas left in Africa. The result is a perpetual dance for the eye, the embodiment of nature's choreography, an intimate exploration which reveals not only the animals but much that is new to us about ourselves. Accompanied by his own commentaries, as passionate as they are informed, and thought- provoking quotes from legendary figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Gerald Durrell and Emily Dickinson, Spirit of the Wild brings to the fore the common experiences of all living beings.
