Michael Kenna- minimalist landscape

A lovely example of square format landscape minimalism. Excluding things from the frame, abstracting the landscape of the UK and many other countries. This work is not only about the negative but its all about the print, each one of these images has been made in the darkroom specifically to what Kenna wanted the aesthetic to be. He has captured the landscapes using long exposures and filters. This work speaks to me because The desire to paint with light at every level of the photographic process is all there! The print is the final production and is the thing that the photographer wants to get to when it comes to presenting the images they have taken, Very nice work and is a good study for printing and composition of the square format.
