Experience 20 Years of Remarkable Getaway Photography with Justin Fox’s Africa Lens

October 20th, 2009 by Sophy

Africa LensJustin Fox & Jacqui L'Ange20 years of remarkable Getaway photography has culminated in the vivid photographic passport to Africa that is Africa Lens, edited by top travel photographer Justin Fox.

Over the past two decades Getaway has excited the armchair traveller and inspired the adventurous to explore the continent. More than any other publication, it has captured the spirit of African travel and adventure, reaching millions of readers. The magazine has portrayed the continent’s people, fauna and landscapes in many indelible ways over the past 20 years.

As with good travel writing, a successful photographic assignment is one in which the journalist has captured the genius loci – the spirit of the place. It’s often an indescribable and elusive element: a mood, a familiar scene rendered somehow unfamiliar, perhaps a fleeting moment where light and subject conspire in the viewfinder to give you something… more.

The pictures reproduced in this book are just such moments.
