Our growing range of publications, produced by Camerapix Publishers International, covers landscape, culture, wildlife and travel in Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Over 70 titles are available, in three different series: 

​

The Journey through large-format hardback series includes Uganda, Ethiopia, Jordan, Kenya, Namibia, Nepal, Pakistan, Maldives
and Seychelles, all celebrated in photographs, colour illustrations and commentary. As the series title implies, each book portrays
a journey through the subject country and acts as a stimulus to tourism, as well as being the ideal souvenir of a visit.

 

The Spectrum Guides, in smaller soft-cover format, are Camerapix’s travel guides to exotic countries around the world, including
Uganda, Ethiopia, India, Jordan, Kenya, Nepal, South Africa, Tanzania, Namibia, Malawi, Maldives, Pakistan, Zambia and more.

 

The pocket-sized Beauty of series focuses on some unique aspect of a country’s beauty. The many titles available feature animals, birds, landscapes, culture, and history, from the exotic architecture of Zanzibar to the beautiful birds of the Seychelles.

 

In addition, Camerapix produces a diverse range of books on other subjects, from a fascinating account of the East African railroad in Railway Across the Equator to an extraordinary photographic insight into the Muslim Hajj in Journey of a Lifetime.

Our photo library: showing Africa at its best

 

The Camerapix archive contains more than 4 million photographs and is the largest collection of African images in existence.

Spanning more than 40 years, the archive contains colour transparencies and negatives, and black-and-white prints,

shot on 35 mm and 120 mm formats.

 

The two main photographers of our collection are the late Mohamed Amin and his long-time Camerapix partner and principal photographer Duncan Willetts. Other freelance photographers have also contributed material over the years.

 

Camerapix’s stable of quality photographers is also available to respond to specific client requests.

 

The bulk of the archive, and its most popular images, falls under the following categories:
Countries: This is perhaps the largest category, and covers not just the vast continent of Africa, but much of the Middle  East

   .and Central Asia
 

Historical events (People & Politics): Here you will find pictures covering the most significant events over the past 30 years, including  Ethiopia’s famine, and striking images of some of the most colourful characters on the world stage: Idi Amin, Mobutu, Kenyatta, Kaunda, Mandela, the British Royal Family

 Tribal Africa: Images of a passing way of life, including the Maasai, are preserved on film

Wildlife and underwater: The sheer range and quality of the images of animals, birds, and fishes is stunning
Landscapes: These pictures, painted on a broad canvas, include many aerial photographs

 

The building of the Camerapix archive continues today, maintaining the high standards of quality and professionalism that have distinguished it over the years. This unique resource adds immense value to any project undertaken by the company, while reducing costs for the client.
