I'm truly fascinated by the diversity of wildlife and cultures. Such magnificent imagery and thoughtful descriptions, each page is a journey!

I was looking for an image with a statement – one that radiates warmth through its colors, has an artistic touch, and at the same time conveys calm and inspiration. An image that lets me dream.
The flamingos from Wildlife Ley were exactly what I was searching for. Time and again, I find myself mentally lost in this scene, gladly reminded of the beauty nature offers us. The print quality is outstanding, and the beautiful oak frame gives the image the perfect presentation – subtle, yet impactful.

The book is incredible, my son is the biggest fan! Every night, I have to show him the pages. Such a wonderful way to discover wildlife together.

As a cat lover, the image Fierce Love of two jaguars immediately drew me in. The quality is outstanding — I have it in the largest size in my hallway, and it never fails to catch the eye. I also love the story behind it!

I met Alex during our university days in London. By a big coincidence, he shares a deep love for safaris and photography, something that resonates strongly with my family. I spent part of my childhood in Angola, and safaris were always a cherished part of our annual family holidays.
What many readers might not immediately realize is the incredible amount of time, dedication, and patience that went into creating this book. It’s the result of countless hours, trips, and years of commitment, capturing rare and unique moments that few are lucky enough to witness, let alone photograph.
When I first received the book, the plan was to keep it in my office. But it quickly got “claimed” by my 18 month old son! It’s now his favorite book. He even insists on having it nearby during meals. He absolutely loves it, and for us as parents, it’s become a surprisingly useful and engaging tool.
I truly recommend this book. It’s a beautiful and inspiring piece of work for adults and little ones alike.

This book means a lot to me because I know the father and son behind it and how passionate they are about what they do. It goes way beyond a hobby. You can feel that in every image. Everyone who comes to my house loves this table book. I really hope I get to travel with them one day and experience even a bit of what they’ve seen.

In a digital age, this is such a powerful way to disconnect and immerse yourself in the Leys’ stunning experiences through their images. Simply wow!

The wonderful coffee table book was a gift, and I’ve since gifted it to others multiple times. Every time, it was received with great enthusiasm.
The impressive photographs, from around the world from animals to breathtaking landscapes to people who still live in tribal communities far from the modern world, never cease to fascinate me.
Knowing that father and son spent decades traveling together for this work and devoted months of their lives to this joint project touches me deeply.

One and a half years in the making, and it shows - what a beautiful book!

A breathtaking celebration of wildlife, Hidden Treasures Through Our Lens captures nature with rare intimacy and unshakable respect. Alexander and Burkhard Ley have an extraordinary eye for moments that most of us would miss. Each photo tells a quiet, powerful story that pulls you deeper into the wild with every page. This book isn’t just a collection of images, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the world we share.

My two kids absolutely adore the book and have learnt a ton about all the animal species around the globe. Their favorite: the jaguars of the pantanal!
