Photography situates landscape in a physical context, as well as in relation to us. “When we ‘see’ a landscape, we situate ourselves in it”, observed John Berger. Framing, focus and depth of field identify clearly our position as the viewing subject, and it was this especially proximate relationship to the fundamental acts of looking, perceiving and understanding that has made photography invaluable for many artists engaging with the subject of landscape. This special issue gathers contributions from a growing body of international scholarship dedicated to the study of photographic representations of landscape in the contemporary period (since the 1980s). Approaching this subject from a range of disciplinary perspectives that include art history, aesthetics and geography, the authors address the relationship between photography and landscape. The term landscape signifies here the practice of visual representation of space, whereas photography relates to a range of practices in contemporary art that engage, in a substantive manner, with photography as a medium and a technology.. To examine the outcomes of the convergence of photography and landscape is the main objective of this volume.
