Description

In the sixth installment of The Photography Workshop Series, Richard Misrach—well-known for sublime landscapes that focus on the relationship between humans and their environment—offers his insight on creating photographs that are visually beautiful and speak to larger cultural and political implications.

In this series, Aperture works with the world’s top photographers to distill their creative approaches, teachings, and insights on photography—offering the workshop experience in a book. Our goal is to inspire photographers of all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography. Through images and words, Misrach shares his own creative process and discusses a wide range of topics, from the language of color photography and the play of light and atmosphere, to beauty, symbolism, and abstraction. Lucas Foglia and Meghann Riepenhoff, members of Misrach's ongoing photography salon, provide the introduction.
