More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Landmarks is a glorious celebration of the work of Fay Godwin, one of the UK's most respected and influential photographers. Drawing on the whole body of her photographic practice of the last thirty years, it includes literary portraits, humorous snapshots, and rural and urban landscapes, as well as the intimate series of colour images, Glassworks, that marks the most recent evolution of her vision. Poet Simon Armitage introduces the work, and an essay by photographic historian Roger Taylor explores and illuminates both her career and her approach to photography.
About the Author
Fay Godwin is author, or co-author, of seventeen books, including Remains of Elmet, with poems by Ted Hughes (1979 - new edition published as Elmet, 1994); and the Land trilogy, Land, (1985); Our forbidden land, (1990); and The Edge of the Land, (1995). In 1987 she was made a Fellow of the National Museum of Photography and in 1990 received an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Photographic Society. President of the Ramblers' Association from 1987 to 1990, she is well known for her work as an environmentalist and for her lectures and workshops on photography.

Fay Godwin: Landmarks,
By
This review is from: Landmarks: Photographs by Fay Godwin (Hardcover)
Absolutely stunning B/W photography and not just of landscapes - there's also a clutch of famous people here who look much more relaxed than the standard portrait photographer would have managed.
Fay Godwin famously only got involved in photography when given a camer by her son when she was already in her fifties.Who knows what masterpieces missed being captured before then. A feast for the eyes and well worth the money

What can I say, it's an incredible book, from one of Britains best photographers, excellent print quality and of course brilliant photographs.

I have a signed copy of this book, and it is one of my favourites. I purchased mine at a London exhibition of her work.
