For the first time ever, I've become absolutely elated with landscape photography in a museum. Fotografiska has covered landscapes and the environment before, but nothing prepares you for Human / Nature.
It's up until May 18th, 2024 -- and I'm bound to go see it again! I've been thinking for a while about how we, as photographers, should redefine the idea of landscape photography. For years, journalists and magazine editors I've worked with have stated that landscapes should show no human interference in the scene. One of the biggest proponents of this idea was Wes Pitts -- the former Editor in Chief of Outdoor Photographer. It's a stalwart yet antiquated idea in a world where humanity has changed the entire face of the planet and where it's become more common for landscape photographers to use AI to replace entire skies. I think we can all agree, though: the days of Ansel Adams are long gone -- and the romantic notions of the work he did have faded due to globalization. . thephoblographer.com
