Clyde Butcher: Portfolio I, Florida Landscapes" is a celebration of the secret side of the Sunshine State. Landscape photographer Butcher, has made a career of fine art photography for almost 40 years and is considered one of world's finest landscape photographers. Butcher, 63, shoots only in black and white. He uses old fashioned view cameras, some built in the early 1900s. These cameras can weigh up to 60 pounds and have film sizes as large as 12 by 20 inches. Butcher's dramatic use of light and his ability to capture nature's own masterpieces make his photographs powerful tributes to a vanishing land. He shows the Florida I would like the cynics to see.

Excellent sampling and introduction to Mr. Butcher's work.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clyde Butcher, Portfolio I: Florida Landscapes (Hardcover)
Mr.Butcher is a local artist here in Miami, and his work is stunning in its scale and detail. His use of large format cameras allows him to create an image that literally engulfs the viewer. If you have the chance to see a show of his, absolutely go and stand in front of his images. You'll swear you are in the everglades! His work is reasonably priced as well. He is truely a credit to his art and to the community,as he has a sincere desire to raise awareness of the environmental issues of the everglades. In short, buy the book.

I have known Clyde Butcher for over 13 years. This second printing of Clyde's first book shows Butcher at his best. The images are stunning and seemingly leap right off the page. The book is beautifully printed and bound. You will love having it in your collection.
