'Patterns: Art of the Natural World' unveils the intricate patterns woven throughout our planet—from animal markings to sweeping landscapes, geological formations, and botanical designs. Born during the quiet months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when travel stopped and daily life slowed, the book grew from Jon McCormack’s evening walks along a small stretch of beach near his home. Returning night after night to the same spot, he discovered a new way of seeing, using photography to reveal the hidden harmony and symmetry of the natural world. The resulting images span volcanic coasts, icy fjords, lush rainforests, and deserts—from hippo trails in Botswana to ice caves in Svalbard.

Accompanied by essays from explorers and scientists, 'Patterns' celebrates the interconnectedness of life and the fragile, timeless artistry of nature.

Jon McCormack è un fotografo profondamente influenzato dai paesaggi selvaggi dell’Outback australiano. Le sue immagini indagano i motivi e le texture dei luoghi incontaminati, suscitando meraviglia e al contempo un senso di responsabilità verso l’ambiente, e sono ampiamente pubblicate da organizzazioni internazionali per la conservazione. I suoi lavori sono stati pubblicati da TIME, The New York Times, UNESCO, The Guardian, CNN e altri. Oltre alla fotografia, McCormack guida lo sviluppo della fotografia computazionale e del software della fotocamera per iPhone presso Apple. È membro di The Explorers Club, membro fondatore del consiglio di SeaLegacy e co-fondatore di The Kilgoris Project.
