Hello all,
Thought it would be interesting to ask a question about the relationship between literature and your photography. I've always been very influenced by writing in my approach to photography, perhaps more than anything else.
The following books and witers have helped me consider my approach to my landscape photography, particularly because they build up 'layers' of perception about specific places over a lifetime. All of these writers have a very particular geographic context, and over the course of a lifetime their work has added to the meanings of the places they write and care about.
-‘The Poems of Norman MacCaig’
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poems-Norman...9884799&sr=1-2
-‘Aotromachd – Lightness and other poems’ by Meg Bateman
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lightness-Ot...9884616&sr=1-8
-‘Connemmara – Listening to the Wind’ by Tim Robinson
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Connemara-Li...9883930&sr=1-1
Anybody else have any books / writers that have influenced their photography?
Cheers,
Gavin
