Wilderness light

Viac o knihe

Through his camera's eye Max Schmid sees Switzerland as a unique, primordial "nature park". He portrays impressive mountains, rugged valleys, and alpine landscapes with mountain flora and coursing streams, natural formations in rock and ice. Despite the cliches of an all-too-orderly, urbanized Switzerland dominated by the banking industry, the Helvetian landscape offers moments of sublime poetry. Max Schmid's theme, the "other Switzerland", features unusual perspectives, dramatic light, and breathtaking moods. These spectacular photos capturing the diversity of the Swiss landscape are beautifully portrayed in this large-format book as full-page and even two-page plates. The result is a memorable volume that captures the enchantment of this alpine land.
