What can landscape photographers learn from landscape painters? By Mark Reeves Pro Events Manager
For centuries landscape painters have chosen to take very inventive and creative approaches to the portrayal of the world around us. We all know, of course, of the great impressionists who took the genre to extremes, to the point where the original scene was barely recognisable. Just think of JMW Turner’s Rain Steam and Speed, or Monet’s Impression, sunrise. There was no attempt in these works to recreate what the eye sees and the artists have used very liberal interpretations of both colour and texture.
