They are very nice shots. I don't think he's used anything techy to get that

Have a look at the way someone like Jane Bown, or Rembrandt or Leonardo use 
light.

I thought I'd buy the book until I saw the size of it! I hate people making 
these stupid, unusable XXL books. Then I saw the price, and that confirmed it.
