商品描述
Ostensibly about landscape photography, More Than a Rock is a passionate and personal book about creativity and expression. In this series of essays, photographer and teacher Guy Tal shares his thoughts and experiences as an artist who seeks to express more in his images than the mere appearance of the subject portrayed.
Tal makes an argument to consider creative landscape photography―expressing something of the photographer's conception through the use of natural aesthetics―as a form of visual art that is distinct from the mere representation of beautiful natural scenes.
Tal covers topics such as the art of photography, approaches to landscape photography, and the experiences of a working photographic artist. His essays also include reflections on nature and man’s place in it, living a meaningful life, and living as an artist in today’s world.
The book is decidedly non-technical and focuses on philosophy, nature, and visual expression. It was written for those photographers with a passion and interest in creative photography. Anyone who is pursuing their work as art, is in need of inspiration, or is interested in the writings of a full-time working photographic artist will benefit from reading this book. The book is visually punctuated with Tal’s inspiring and breathtaking photography.
“Some images look like things, while others feel like things; some images are of things, while others are about things. …A creative image is not a record of a scene nor a substitute for a real experience. Rather, it is an experience in itself―an aesthetic experience―something new that the artist has given the world, rather than a contrived view of something that already existed independent of them.” ~Guy Tal
**** Guy Tal’s photography is thoughtful, compassionate, and poetic; it’s no wonder then that his writings evoke similar feelings in me. If you want to be a better camera user, read your manual. If you want to be a stronger, deeper photographer, read Guy Tal. ~David duChemin

商品描述(中文翻譯)
表面上看是關於風景攝影的《More Than a Rock》是一本關於創造力和表達的熱情且個人的書。在這系列的隨筆中，攝影師和教師Guy Tal分享了他作為一名藝術家的想法和經驗，他試圖在他的影像中表達比所描繪主題的單純外觀更多的東西。
Tal主張應該將創意風景攝影視為一種視覺藝術，這種藝術通過自然美學表達攝影師的概念，與單純呈現美麗自然場景的方式有所不同。
Tal涵蓋了攝影藝術、風景攝影的方法以及一名職業攝影藝術家的經驗等主題。他的隨筆還包括對自然及人類在其中位置的反思、過有意義的生活以及在當今世界作為藝術家的生活。
這本書顯然是非技術性的，專注於哲學、自然和視覺表達。它是為那些對創意攝影充滿熱情和興趣的攝影師而寫的。任何追求將工作視為藝術、需要靈感或對全職職業攝影藝術家的著作感興趣的人都將從這本書中受益。書中以Tal啟發人心且驚豔的攝影作品作為視覺點綴。
「有些影像看起來像物體，而另一些則感覺像物體；有些影像是物體的呈現，而另一些則是關於物體的表達……創意影像不是場景的記錄，也不是對真實經驗的替代。相反，它本身就是一種經驗——一種美學經驗——是藝術家賦予世界的新事物，而不是對已經獨立於他們存在的事物的刻意觀點。」 ~Guy Tal
**** Guy Tal的攝影是深思熟慮、富有同情心且詩意的；難怪他的著作在我心中引發類似的感受。如果你想成為更好的相機使用者，請閱讀你的手冊。如果你想成為更強大、更深刻的攝影師，請閱讀Guy Tal。 ~David duChemin
