Travel booksOur 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 award-winning travel guides to exotic countries around the world, including Uganda, Ethiopia, India, Jordan, Kenya, Nepal, South Africa, Malawi and Madagascar.

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.

MagazinesCamerapix Magazines Limited, based in Nairobi and with offices in London, publishes the in-flight magazines for Ethiopian Airlines, Air Seychelles and Air Uganda. The company publishes Selamta for Ethiopian Airlines since 1984 and Silhouette for Air Seychelles since 1988 and recently added to this is Asante for Air Uganda and Africa Wings for African Airlines Association. We have also produced Msafiri for Kenya Airways, Hababkum for Sudan Airways and Ndege for Regional Air. In addition, we produce a range of brochures, annual reports and calendars for various international and corporate clients.

Camerapix LtdSteeped in over 40 years of historical news coverage across the continent, Camerapix is the most experienced independent multi-media company in Africa. With offices in Nairobi and London, and the founding of The Mohamed Amin Foundation in 1998, Camerapix has put its skills and resources into being an international force for the telling of stories that make a difference in people’s lives.

Camerapix photo library: showing Africa at its bestContaining more than 4 million photographs, the Camerapix archive is the largest collection of African images in existence. Spanning the last 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 the 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. This unique resource adds immense value to any project undertaken by the company, while reducing costs for the client. 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.
