Metaphysics & the Rückenfigur

The reason that I’ve approached the photograph in this way is that it reminds me so much of one of the masterpieces of German Romanticism, Caspar David Friedrich’s Wanderer over the Sea of Fog (1818 more

Brent Doerzman – Portrait of a Photographer

He’s an absolute master at determining what to include or exclude in the frame, which is in my opinion one of the most challenging things a landscape photographer must learn to do. more

Darkness in the Deep South

The camera is a recording tool: mechanical, technical, objectifying. The photographer is a subjective cypher: selecting, emphasising, interpreting. The bringing together of these antithetical poles can lead to an artistic fusion that is evocative and profound. more

I am also impressed with her bravery in pursuing and sharing images where the subject may be out of focus or where no compositional rules are followed. more

Pastel Mirrors in the Unreal Landscape

This is not the ‘beauty of the banal’ often associated with the New Topographics, but nor is it the grandiose statements of the straight photographers.
