The book shows a formidable knowledge of the planet, which Föllmi has travelled for thirty years, twenty years of experience in the Himalayas and a human knowledge of the most remote peoples, which make him a reference for travel photographers. He shares moving moments through the stories of some of his finest pictures, and adds advice on equipment, on the logistics and organisation of a reportage and on strategies for selling images. "The job of travel photographer is fantastic. It lets you get close to your dreams, cross the whole planet, meet incredible people, live a thousand lives, and pass on your experience, with shining eyes, at every return."
