Overview
In Photographs from the Edge, you'll discover the secrets behind forty years of awe-inspiring photography from around the world.

You’ll learn the equipment, settings, and creative choices behind each photograph. From endangered species to cultural celebrations to natural wonders, Wolfe brings each subject to life through his stunning photography and the stories he shares in this one-of-a-kind photo safari.
