Book Reviews of Manufactured Landscapes: The Photographs of Edward Burtynsky
Book Review: This + "Burtynsky - China" = 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 "Burtynsky - China", both of which contributed the still images to the *most excellent* DVD, "Manufactured Landscapes". If you like the book, get the DVD!
