I heard Rachael talk about her work at a UK Royal Photographic Society meeting last year. She is an excellent speaker and her images are really interesting.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Good stuff. Great landscapes/seascapes. "Fire Within" being my favorite. Congrats.

Excellent images - such subtle compositions and colours are a great reminder that landscape photography is so much more than technicolor wonders.

I could not have said it better. Let the subtlety play on.

Yawn.

Sorry, but I found the article tedious and virtually impossible to finish. This is in no way an issue with Ms. Talibart's work or words. The interview appears to be an email correspondence between the two parties. To me, it lacks a clear and direct person to person dynamic. I think it also tries too hard with overly constructed sentences and "concepts". But hey, it's just my two cents. As was once quite often said here on Lula, horses for courses.

Ms. Talibart's words are very interesting. Her pictures are superb, I think. Josh's writing is tortured and very pretentious, I think.

Krug · « **Reply #18 on:** January 26, 2019, 10:54:02 am »

Having been mocked in the past for my own accent and phraseology I think that how we speak, or write, is very much part of one's individual personality and character ... and whilst simplicity is much to be encouraged the meaning is far more important than any particular personal idiosyncrasies of delivery and often repays patience and forebearance.

Perhaps. But only if one is accustomed to reading and comprehension skills of a 5th grader or below. Or if someone finds that landscape photography is "just another tree, another rock (ARAT)," then describing it in anything above 5th grade might certainly feel "tortured." Sorry if I offended any 5th graders.

Those who think that landscape photography is just about snapping what's already there, and requires mostly a bladder fortitude, finding anything else in it (landscape) would certainly seem like an intellectual overkill.

I find Josh' intro text and questions well written, in terms of meaning and concept, concise, intellectual (gasp!), and addressing all the major points about landscape photography that the ARAT crowd is missing.

Josh is rightly using the following words and concepts that elevate landscape photography above a snap: primordial force, elemental and mythic, archetypal, pre-civilization tethers, collective psyche, etc. Every one of those words carries a weight that explains why landscape photography is the most popular genre - it hits our primordial links to nature, elements, survival, fear.

Me thinks.
