Scotland Photography
Elements:
The Landscape of Scotland.
In a book filled with breathtaking images, Craig McMaster has
captured the essence of Scotland's wild landscape. From Rannoch
Moor and Glencoe to Ardnamurchan, Torridon, Glen Affric, Arran,
Iona and beyond, Craig explores towering mountains, secluded
coves, enigmatic stone circles, dramatic skies and hidden lakes.
Scotland:
The Wild Places.
This latest collection of panoramic photographs by award-winning
photographer Colin Prior celebrates the breathtaking scenery
of Scotland's wildland areas. It follows the longstanding success
of his earlier book Highland Wilderness. Whereas Highland Wilderness
focused on the issues involved in conserving the Highlands,
this time Prior presents a mature reflection on the space and
silence of those wild places, a salutory reminder to people
that even in today's world such places do exist. His remarkable
images encourage stewardship of the Highlands by inspiration
rather than rhetoric.
The
Most Beautiful Villages of Scotland.
A collection of lavish photographs celebrates some of Scotland's
most scenic glens and lochs, in a tribute that features such
subjects as the picturesque fishing village of Auchmithie, the
Edinburgh-surrounded community of Dean Village, and the island
port-village of Tobermory on Mull.
Victorian
and Edwardian Scottish... Lowlands from Historic Photographs.
The
Forth Bridge: A Picture History.
The story of the greatest engineering achievement of the Victorian
age: the construction of the largest bridge in the world.
Hebridean
Light.
A unique collection of colour photographs of the Hebrides by
the celebrated photographer Gus Wylie. For his monochrome work,
Wylie has been acclaimed by author Michael Russell as 'The best
modern photographer of the Western Isles'. This collection is
a lyrical exploration of the possibilities that colour offers:
a sense of time, and place a feel of the unique atmosphere and
light that can only be found in the Hebrides; of the extraordinary
quality of translucent water upon the freshness of white unpolluted
sands. Wylie has built up the collection using pairs of images
on double page spreads: comparing, for example, the colours
of earth lichen and water in one shot with an image of a crofter
weaving tweed in Harris. The result is a magical, beautiful
collection acknowledges the incredible sensual pleasure of the
environment.
