This book covers the last 20 years of artistic research by one of
the leading contemporary Italian photographers: Walter Niedermayr.
Through the recurring themes of his work such as Alpine landscapes,
architecture and the relationship between public and private
spaces, the artist's interest in investigating places not only from
a geographical but also from a social point of view is highlighted.
Although in continuity with the legacy of the Italian photographic
tradition, which views the landscape as the key to interpreting
society, Niedermayr's visual research is significant in terms of
its ability to reinterpret this subject and renew it from both a
conceptual and a formal point of view. For the South Tyrolean
photographer, physical space today cannot be approached with an
exclusively documentary intention, but as the pivot of a
transformative relationship between ecology, architecture and
society. In some of the works in the Alpine Landschaften (Alpine
Landscapes) series, for example, the presence of man in the
depiction of the landscape is interpreted as a parameter for
measuring the proportions of Alpine panoramas, and at the same time
as a political yardstick for his intervention in the metamorphosis
of the natural equilibrium. This topic is also underlined in works
such as Portraits, where the snow cannons filmed during the summer
season - and thus inactive - become ambiguous presences residing in
the landscape. Text in English and Italian.
As we begin to venture outside of lockdown, photographers of all
skill levels will be eager to capture the world around them. In
Decisive Moments, Andy Hall combines his photographic and teaching
experience by putting together a thirty year retrospective
collection of stunning images, each of which has a key learning
feature for photographers to reflect on. Throughout, Hall will
teach and inspire photographers of all abilities from beginners to
experienced practitioners and will help them to identify
photographic opportunities and make successful images consistently.
The advice is applicable to users of all types of cameras from
professional DSLRs to smartphones. This is a must-have book not
only for photographers who want to achieve their full potential but
for people who simply enjoy the visual world around them.
