Photography and Landscape is a unique collaboration between a writer about photography and a landscape photographer that provides a new critical account of landscape photography, which focuses on the settler societies of the United States and Australia. Beginning with the frontier days of the American West, the subsequent century-long popularity of landscape photography is exemplified by images from Carleton Watkins to Ansel Adams, the New Topographics to Richard Misrach, all of whose works are considered here.
Along with discussions of other contemporary photographers, this illustrated volume demonstrates the influence of settler societies on landscape photography, in which photographers captured the fascination with and the appeal of the land and its expense.
The latest installment in Intellect’s Critical Photography series, Photography and Landscape, is a visually striking introduction to one of the most important modes of photography.
The book, Photography and Landscape will be launched at FotoFreo on Saturday, March 17 between 4.00 – 5.00 pm at the Western Australian Maritime Museum on Victoria Quay
Price: AUS$45 (£29.95)

Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : CrowdBooks, Photography Books, Publishing , add a commentKickstarter, Emphas.is are funding platforms for artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists and photographers that are reaching a select and literate audience that is interested in contributing to projects that they see as worthwhile. A new kid on the block is Crowd Books whose aim is to set up a community to allow photographers – looking to publish and edit their projects – to connect with Internet users wishing to financially support photographers and artists. The projects are funded by what is called “participative financing” – or “crowd-funding” -, a funding method already used in the music and film industry among others. When the necessary financing for the project is reached, CROWDBOOKS commits itself to finalize and to commercialize the project by putting it on sale on the CROWDBOOKS website and eventually through other selling points discretionarily chosen by CROWDBOOKS.
Benefits to the project contributors will be dependent on the dollar amount funded, with different contributions equaling a different level of benefit. In general order, the benefits are as follows:
A copy of the book for which you participated in the funding
A copy of the book + a print
A limited edition copy of the book + a deluxe box

Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : Eric Lusito, George Georgiou, Max Pam, Photography Books , add a commentThere have been a number of amazing publications this year and it is pretentious sometimes to be selective but the following three books have struck a chord with me, Eric Lusito’s After the Wall, George Georgiou’s Turkey: Fault Lines East West and Max Pam’s Atlas Chronicles. There is no special ranking of these books, they are all special.
- George Georgiou Fault Lines/Turkey/East/West

“This book is totally the opposite to being an austere work about the Soviet Army. “Images of the decayed and estranged world of the Soviet military are easily read yet almost impossible to digest; “Eric Lusito paints, as if they were tableaux, the military remains of the Soviet Empire” “An amazing history lesson” “Striking images, exceptional work”
