More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The authors are among Britain's best known and most respected landscape photographers; all three also write about their work in books and magazines and regularly lead the popular workshops organised by their company, Light & Land, in Britain and abroad. In this book, they have combined forces to share their wide-ranging experience and expertise with those who aspire, as they do, to create images that reflect their own visions of a chosen landscape and which have a distinctive personal style. Alongside a portfolio of their latest work, each of the three authors writes about the genre for which they are so well-known: how they came to it, what inspires them, how each developed his own particular style. The book also features photographs submitted in response to an invitation to participants in Light & Land workshops and readers of "Outdoor Photography" magazine accompanied by comments, critiques and advice from the three authors who suggest ways in which these contributors might further develop and refine their work. The combination of stunning imagery with inspirational and insightful three-to-one advice makes "Light & Land" a truly unique experience, which no landscape enthusiast will want to do without. This is the second book in the "Light & Land" series which was launched in 2006 with "Working the Light".

2.0 out of 5 stars
Very Disapointing,

This review is from: Developing Vision and Style: A Masterclass in Landscape Photography (Light and Land) (Light & Land) (Paperback)
I was really disappointed by this book - these are some of my favourite photographers and most of the photos, including those of the guests, were fantastic - some simply awesome. The text, unfortunately, I found plainly indulgent. Yes, it was nice to know how each photographer saw his creative development, but hey, I really wanted more about the photos - how did they plan them, what settings, filters, etc. And the text for photos were of such small print that it was simply annoying to read. Sorry guys, I still think you are great photographers, but the book - a wasted opportunity, I think.

This review is from: Developing Vision and Style: A Masterclass in Landscape Photography (Light and Land) (Light & Land) (Paperback)
Featuring the work of three well-known landscape photographers, Joe Cornish, Charlie Waite and David Ward as well as many others, this book is a visual delight. Subtitled, 'A Landscape Photography Masterclass' for me a masterclass would show you exactly how to do it, yet this book is a showcase of the master's art - a superb thing of itself, but don't expect to go out and take similar photos having read this book. This book suffers from being mis-subtitled for it gives the impression that you will learn the master's art. It is a stunning book with fabulous photography throughout, but the text is about what the photographer feels, his thoughts about the scene not about how he took the photo. The photographers are defining their style, the way the see it. I would still buy this book for it is incredibly good to look at.

Not up to the usual standard,

This review is from: Developing Vision and Style: A Masterclass in Landscape Photography (Light and Land) (Light & Land) (Paperback)
The idea behind the book is good and some of the photographs are excellent. So why only one star? Unfortunately, in common with many other books on this subject, most of the images are grossly over-saturated. The result is that much colour detail is lost and the images lack subtlety. This is apparent even on the cover shot in which the Cuillin Mountains look good enough to eat; the Cuillins are made of granite - not chocolate. This is very frustrating as many of the images are top quality, notably Cornish's Cir Mhor shot and Gallagher's monochromes.
I would have awarded two stars but for the awful arty claptrap that passes for text. This is not a Masterclass.
