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 and Land, in Britain and abroad. In this book they have combined forces to share their wide-ranging experience and expertise. The book is divided into three sections, each introduced by one of the authors who are among Britain's best-known and most respected landscape photography experts: Wilderness- Joe Cornish, Inhabited - Charlie Waite, Inner-landscapes - David Ward. Alongside a portfolio of their latest work, each writes about the genre for which they are so well-known: how they came to it, what inspires them, their current projects and the directions in which they see their work developing - for example, what future role might digital play for these lovers of film? Each section also includes a selection of the best photographs submitted by participants in the Light and Land workshops accompanied by comments, critiques and advice from the authors whose collective wisdom and experience will be invaluable. The combination of stunning imagery with inspirational and insightful three-to-one advice makes "Light and Land" a truly unique experience, which no landscape enthusiast will want to do without. This is expected to be the first in a regular series of books based on the work of "Light and Land".

3.0 out of 5 stars A good class, but not really a "master" class, 14 Sep 2007
By N. Ross "www.nathanross.co.nz" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The concept of this book is very clever - Three wonderful British landscape photographers critiquing their own and each other's work, as well as critiquing images by participants in their landscape photography workshops. The critiques are useful in showing how others respond to and interpret landscape images.

But, really, to be a master class, half of the book is missing.

I bought this book assuming that it would have a number of master images with details of how they were made and the critiques of why they have worked. But there are only a very small number of images that invoke the emotional response that I want when looking at landscape images. (E.g. "Sluga Pass, Italy" by Charlie Waite, p.65 is very powerful and "Budle Bay" by David Ward, p.112, is delicious.) The remaining images are all good, but few of them make me say "Wow" when I look at them. I know that there are plenty of books that do critique great images, but I was expecting that this would be one of them, as well as have other content.

So, the photographers' critiques of those images are good - looking at some elements that might have helped bring in that "wow" factor. But I think there should have been more detailed constructive feedback (they guys are a little too nice sometimes), and more amazing images with perhaps essays on what are the elements that make stunning landscape photos stunning.

The other part that's missing is a section (or sections) on landscape images that aren't the straight, full-colour, "nature in all its glory" photographs. I really like those kinds of shots - that's one of the reasons I bought this book. But what about more interpretive images?

I thought that there could have been value in exploring other styles, like Sally Mann's "Deep South" work, or Art Wolfe's style as exemplified in "Edge of the Earth Corner of the Sky", or more black & white work like Marty Knapp or Michael Kenna. The style represented in "Working the Light" is very nice, but if the book is a Master Class, then it should have explored other styles and how they were achieved and how people respond to them too.

Perhaps one way to achieve that would have been for Joe, Charlie and David to critique works that have really inspired them - pull out those shots by Peter Dombrovskis, Ansel Adams, whoever - and tell us why you think they work so much better than other images. What makes them special to you?

So, this is a good book, but a little to generic for me to think that it's really a Master Class. Perhaps subsequent books in the series will help me out!

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of a great series, 24 Feb 2008
By S. A. Gulliver (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book for those who may feel unable to afford to attend a workshop or do not have the opportunity. One of it's great strengths is it features work by the masters giving the class and also work by participants. So long as you know the basic workings of photography you will learn something here that other books don't offer

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent examples book, 1 Jan 2007
By Robert Collier (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a excellent book full of modern examples, with a couple of pages of critique. It is not so much of a "Masterclass" as claimed in the title, you learn through looking at other people's photographs as opposed to more technical works (Ansel Adams book 1 etc.)

A very good book, a must have for the keen landscape photographer

This book was exactly what I expected. Lovely detailed pictures with some helpful and expert tips. Good book for amateur photographers to see how it's done.
