Masters of Landscape Photography - Hardcover

by Ross Hoddinott (Editor)

Landscape photography is one of the most popular genres for amateur photographers. Mastering the genre, however, takes time: time to perfect exposure, color, composition, and--perhaps above all else--the ability to see and record the landscape in a way that will make your photographs stand above the rest. This guide delves into the world of 16 leading lights, each with their own unique take on how, where, and why the landscape should be recorded. Through probing interviews and beautifully reproduced images, the reader is given an insight into the artist's working practices, from equipment to techniques. Glorious color photographs sit beside atmospheric monochrome, the latest digital techniques rub shoulders with traditional film-based imaging, and conventional landscape mores are countered by experimental artworks, guaranteeing something to inspire every reader. Contributors include Marc Adamus, Valda Bailey, Sandra Bartocha, Mark Bauer, Thierry Bornier, Jonathan Chritchley, Joe Cornish, Ross Hoddinott, Daniel Kordan, Mikko Lagerstedt, Tom Mackie, David Noton, Colin Prior, Hans Strand, Lars Van De Goor, and Art Wolfe.
