In Landscape Beyond David Ward explores what he considers to be the essential attributes of a successful landscape photograph: simplicity, mystery and beauty.
He sets out exactly why he feels each attribute is important to photography – how the notion of simplicity, for example, is intimately related to the reductive approach adopted by photography in contrast to the complexity involved in building up a painting from layers of pigment.
David always seeks to make his own images open to interpretation and in the final chapter, ‘Questions or Answers?’, he suggests that all photographers’ work either poses a question or seeks to impose the photographer’s viewpoint.
The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with David’s stunning large-format landscape images. These colour images reflect David’s thoughtful and refined approach, tending toward abstraction rather than description and evoking deeper meaning from his subjects.
