What Great Photographs Are Really About.

What makes a place worth photographing? We often think the answer lies in what we can see, the subject, the light, the landscape in front of us. But some of the most interesting photographs begin when we look beyond the surface. In this video, we explore how many photographers have challenged traditional ideas of landscape photography, turning their attention towards ordinary places, human intervention, memory and the histories hidden within the environments around us. Featuring the work of Robert Adams, Richard Misrach, Edward Burtynsky, Mitch Epstein, Joel Sternfeld and many others. Read The Landscape We Made This video is based on my new original photography essay, *The Landscape We Made*, A photography essay on the natural world, humans and the role of photography. The full essay expands on the ideas explored in this video, tracing how our understanding of landscape has changed throughout the history of photography and asking what it might mean to photograph the world around us today.
