Scotland's Mountains: A Landscape Photographer's View

by Joe Cornish

With a careful eye and masterful appreciation of the properties of light and composition, Scotland’s national treasures are documented in a fascinating visual journey?from the soaring peaks of the Southern Highlands in the south and the fortress-like Torridonian and Assynt hills in the far north to the Cuillin of Skye in the west and the lofty Cairngorms, with their windswept plateaus and jewel-like ice formations in the east. Accompanying the portfolio are detailed accounts of the photographer’s experiences in each region, the physical and creative challenges faced in order to capture the images, and reflections on the remarkable landscapes and features encountered. Acutely observed, visually engaging, and artistically definitive, this inspirational portfolio is essential for those drawn to the magic and majesty of Scotland’s rugged landscapes.
