Field of Vision
Since the medium was invented in the mid-19th century, photography has been employed to try to reproduce the grandeur of nature. Anyone who has used a camera or cell phone to capture a scenic moment knows that it is not easy because of the limitations of equipment or the inherent challenges of being outdoors. Photographers who specialize in nature photography must consider such factors as time of day, lighting, place, and weather. They must decide if they want to capture the landscape in a realistic, or objective manner, or if they want to manipulate the composition to create abstraction. While some focus on land unaltered by the human element, other photographers see this interaction as a fundamental part of their narrative. From the arid climate of Death Valley, California, to the lush green peat of Ireland, this exhibition will feature highlights of nature photography from the FIA collection.
