Book Reviews of China
Book Review: Beautiful book disfigured by Amazon's packaging
Summary: 2 Stars
A beautiful book disfigured by Amazon's packaging. The tight plastic shrink-wrap bent the corners of the book, greatly reducing its value as a part of my collection. This isn't the first time that a photo-book from Amazon has arrived already marred. It's a shame.Book Review: Interesting landscape
Summary: 5 Stars
Large format, interesting photographs of China. I was worried his work might not translate in a book, but if you like his work, not to worry about that.Book Review: Over all it's a nice book of a good photographer
Summary: 4 Stars
I realy like Edward Burtysky as a photographer and this book shows sokme really nice photo's. But for some reason some of his photo's took me by surprise as I saw them in a completely different lightfrom other photos of which he took. it's a bit hard to explain but it almost seems like two different photographers were sharing this wonderful, 147 pages, Hardcover book.Book Review: This + "Manufactured Landscapes" = the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like crystal clear, razor-sharp images full of rich detail that only large format photography provides, you'll like this book. You'll like it even more if you appreciate the subject matter -- urban, industrial subjects that you wouldn't expect to be "picturesque"... But with Burtynsky's eye and the magic of LF, you'll find an interesting combination of artistry, the "omigosh" effect, and a ponderous implicit social comment all wrapped up into one. These are not snapshots; they're carefully planned & executed at great cost and trouble -- that's LF. But the results are impressive and the images are not easily forgotten.
I was introduced to this photographer by fellow large format shooter, Tom Paiva, who is understandably inspired by Burtynsky; Tom shoots industrial subjects at night. I have this book and "Manufactured Landscapes", both of which contributed the still images to the *most excellent* DVD, "Manufactured Landscapes". If you like the book, get the DVD!
