Aqua by Hans Strand and Published by Kozu Books - On My Bookshelf S07E04

Beautiful Photographs, Beautifully Printed

I expect many of you will have seen the work of Swedish photographer Hans Strand. His nature, environmental and landscape photographs have a global reach, and he is recognised as a leading photographer in his field. He also loves to publish books, including Beyond Landscape, which I covered in a previous episode of On My Bookshelf.

In this episode of On My Bookshelf I’m going to take a look at his latest book, Aqua. Is Hans’ collection of photographs that documents the beauty and complexity of glaciers, wetlands, lakes and rivers, a book for your bookshelf?

Beyond Landscape by Hans Strand - Published by Kozu Books - On My Bookshelf S04E04

I feel like I need to take up carpentry Why? Because I’m going to need a bigger bookshelf! Despite my desire to acquire fewer photography books this year, the last couple of months have seen an influx of new titles. To be fair, they’ve all been titles worth getting. They have all in some way, added something or influenced my photography. Plus, I’ve enjoyed a few lazy Sunday mornings with coffee just enjoying the printed photography of others. One of life's simple pleasures.

When Beyond Landscape arrived in the post, I had high hopes for this retrospective collection of photographs by Hans Strand. In this episode of On My Bookshelf, I look at Beyond Landscape to see if it is indeed a masterclass in composition.
