Product Info Reviews

Description:

The "skin" that covers trees is no less taken for granted than the sound of dogs. This volume, the first of its kind, details the formation, uses and characteristics of this remarkably varied element of nature. Publisher-turned-photographer Kjell Sandved is a naturalist at heart, but he approaches his subject with the eye of an artist. He has a feel for color that Gauguin would appreciate; his fascination with the shape and design of bark is evident throughout. Sandved discusses his use of natural light in an essay and asserts that the principles employed when shooting portraits are the same when photographing bark.
