Arnold Zageris: On the Labrador
This is a superbly illustrated look at the work of landscape photographer Arnold Zageris. Arnold Zageris' large format photographic colour prints focus on arctic and sub-arctic regions of Canada. Zageris captures the images using a traditional large format 4X5 view camera, technology that is unsurpassed for landscape photography in this digital age. The method allows for fine details and subtle nuances of form and texture to emerge. Although the colours and contrasts may appear enhanced, these works have no special filters or treatments. Zageris states his commitment is "to search and find the quality of light that can inspire the imagination." His combination of traditional technique and methodical patience lends him the ability to show us a world we may not see otherwise; an extraordinary view of a geographic region not often travelled.
