The Interior Landscape

A deeply thoughtful and inspiring collection
of essays about visual expression, art, creativity, and a life in photography

Photographer, teacher, and author Guy Tal has
been photographing the landscape for more than 30 years, and in that time he
has also been consistently contributing to the literature of photography,
writing not about the technical aspects of the photograph—the gear, the
exposure details, the “secrets to getting a great shot”—but about the deeper
topics of visual expression, creativity, art, and life.

Building on the legacy of his previous
best-selling books More Than a Rock and Another Day
Not Wasted, as well as his work as a regular contributor to LensWork and On
Landscape magazines, The Interior Landscape is a
collection of more than 60 brief essays, packaged in a beautiful hardcover
format and illustrated throughout with Guy's stunning photography.

Organized into four parts, Guy discusses:

• Creativity and expression as the most
significant aspects of making art

• The controversial and tenuous relationship
between photography (by design a medium for objective representation) and art
(by definition the subjective expressions of the imagination of artists)

• How he has formed a relationship with, and
found meaning in, the natural landscape, and how he expresses these meanings in
his photographs

• Lessons learned from more than three decades
of practicing expressive landscape photography

The Interior Landscape is for anyone interested in, as the title
suggests, turning inward to explore creativity, art, expression, and the
landscape. It is sure to illuminate, educate, and inspire you on your
photographic journey.
