Summary
In The Photography Workshop Series， Aperture Foundation works with the world's top photographers to distill their creative approaches， teachings， and insights on photography--offering the workshop experience in a book。 Our goal is to inspire photographers of all levels who wish to improve their work， as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography。
In this book， Richard Misrach--well known for his sublime and expansive landscapes that focus on the relationship between humans and their environment--offers his insight on creating photographs that are visually beautiful and have cultural implications。 Through images and words， he shares his own creative process and discusses a wide range of issues， from the language of color photography and the play of light and atmosphere， to transcending place and time through metaphor， myth， and abstraction。

I own several photography books though the others are not written with a view to focusing on the photographer's work while the photographer shares their process and philosophy。 This book is much like attending a photography workshop。 It's Misrach's distillation of his photography style and philosophy; how he's gone about selecting his projects; as well as how his process has benefitted from shifting and changing along the way。He discusses his landscapes and the relationships of the landscapes wi I own several photography books though the others are not written with a view to focusing on the photographer's work while the photographer shares their process and philosophy。 This book is much like attending a photography workshop。 It's Misrach's distillation of his photography style and philosophy; how he's gone about selecting his projects; as well as how his process has benefitted from shifting and changing along the way。He discusses his landscapes and the relationships of the landscapes with the environment and cultural aspects as well。The reason I didn't give this book a higher rating is two-fold。 I feel for the price， it wasn't value for the money （my personal view anyway） and the other reason is because of the images。 Although it was interesting to see some of Misrach's images， his images are made and intended to be viewed very large。 In the book， it's difficult to see some of what he intends for the viewer to see。 A few images didn't need to be really large but the majority included in the book fall into that category。I definitely found some valuable points in his discussions that have served to motivate me in my own photography， which any workshop should do。 But the motivation isn't just a fleeting or superficial type of motivation。 Instead there were some gems that made me think more deeply about why I photograph， what I personally want to accomplish with my photography， and the importance of embracing change。 。。。more
