A deeply thoughtful and inspiring collection of essays about visual expression, art, creativity, and a life in photography
Photographer, teacher, and author Guy Tal has been photographing the landscape for more than 30 years, and in that time he has also been consistently contributing to the literature of photography, writing not about the technical aspects of the photograph - the gear, the exposure details, the 'secrets to getting a great shot' - but about the deeper topics of visual expression, creativity, art, and life.
Building on the legacy of his previous best-selling booksMore Than a RockandAnother Day Not Wasted, as well as his work as a regular contributor toLensWorkandOn Landscape magazines,The Interior Landscapeis a collection of more than 60 brief essays, packaged in a beautiful hardcover format and illustrated throughout with Guy's stunning photography.
Organised into four parts, Guy discusses:
- Creativity and expression as the most significant aspects of making art
- The controversial and tenuous relationship between photography (by design a medium for objective representation) and art (by definition the subjective expressions of the imagination of artists)
- How he has formed a relationship with, and found meaning in, the natural landscape, and how he expresses these meanings in his photographs
- Lessons learned from more than three decades of practising expressive landscape photography
The Interior Landscapeis for anyone interested in, as the title suggests, turning inward to explore creativity, art, expression, and the landscape. It is sure to illuminate, educate, and inspire you on your photographic journey.
