Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Three of Britain’s leading landscape photographers share their work and their expertise in this highly-illustrated photography masterclass.

Charlie Waite, Joe Cornish, and David Ward are among Britain’s best known and most respected landscape photographers; all three are frequent contributors to books and magazines and regularly lead photography workshops. In Working the Light, they join forces to present a unique masterclass combining stunning imagery, inspiring commentary, and practical advice. Working the Light is divided into three sections, by author—Wilderness, Inhabited, and Inner-landscapes—and, alongside a portfolio of their latest work, each writes knowledgeably and insightfully about the genre for which they are known. An invaluable compendium of collective wisdom and experience for aspiring and experienced photographers. Charlie Waite’s previous books include The Making of Landscape Photographs; Joe Cornish is the author of ! Light and the Art of Landscape Photography; David Ward’s most recent book is Landscape Within.

5.0 out of 5 stars I look at this book, and I wonder ..., September 13, 2007
By David Brant (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wonder if I am ready for this sort of "master class". The photographs inside are almost intimidating in their beauty and artistry.

I have years of experience with attempting to create photos like these, and I will say that the patience of the artists is well-displayed in the photographs.

I found the text to be informative and thought-provoking, and although I am a little intimidated, I am also greatly inspired by the detail and instruction given.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Photography and Instruction, November 5, 2007
By Rakesh Malik (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a previous reviewer mentioned, it's intimidating to see such incredible photography, especially if you're an aspiring photographer (as I am).

However, I find the beauty of the photography here to be inspirational, and the critiques provided are very informative. I highly recommend reading this book if you're an aspiring nature photographer.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's an OK book, October 6, 2007
I don't like the way the book is set up. The photos are great to try to emulate. But the critiques of the photos are all grouped in a different section. I find it easier to be looking at the photo and then read the critique next to the photo rather than in a different part of the book. Although there are 1 in. by 1 in. photos by the critique. To really get the jist of it all I kept having to refer to the larger photo which as I said is in a different part of the book.
Great photos to look at though.
