Working the Light offers readers a unique chance to participate in a masterclass with three of Britain's leading practitioners and teachers of landscape photography. Alongside a portfolio of their latest work, Charlie Waite, Joe Cornish and David Ward write about the genre for which they are best known; how the came to it , what insprires them , their current projects and the directions in which they see their work developing - for example, what role might digital play for any of these overs of film?
Each of the three sections of the book explores the theme of 'working the light' - surely the most critical and challenging aspect of landscape photography - with Joe Cornish writing about Wild Places, Charlie Waite discussing Inhabited Landscapes and David Ward concentrating on Inner Landscapes. Each section also contains a Gallery Workshop in which the trio critique images submitted by clients of the renowned travel photography company Light & Land, offering the kind of constructive comment and positive advice that one would mormally only expect to get in the field.
Contact details are fiven for all the participating photographers, making the book an excellent reference source for what is going on in the exciting world of landscape photography.
The book has been created and designed by Eddie Ephrams, himself a well-known black and white landscape photographer. Ephraums' previous collaborations with the three photographers and his own experience as a workshop leader have enabled him to get the very best out of the teachers and students alike, in order to create an innovative and inspiring workshop-style book with a totally fresh approach to learning the art of landscape photography.
Working the Light gives its readers a real sense of taking part in alocation workshop with Waite, Cornish or Ward while also preserving their wisdom in permanent form that can be referred to in the future. Follow-up volumes are already planned, with the next in the series exploring the concept of Developing Style.
