Timo Kelaranta has inspired at least two or three generations of photographers since he first began teaching photography at the influential University of Art & Design in Helsinki (Taik) in the mid-1970s. His latest little masterpiece, The Quiets, is small in size, and as the title suggests, quiet. But each image is magical and potent, like a visual haiku. 

This book is a gem.

FEATURED ARTICLES:
Mojave and Desert Paradise
In the vast and open landscape of the Mojave, traces of man's intervention and neglect are instantly apparent. Markus Altmann reports.
Grit of LIfe
Raw, direct, tender, harsh, sad, and beautiful. A portfolio of all new work by young Swedish photographer Marcus Erixson.
The Constructed Landscape as Art

Toshio Shibata's work blends landscape painting with documentary realism, allowing it to move beyond mere description to something greater. Shibata's photographs show the extent of our creative (and destructive) powers, allowing us to draw our own conclusions about the impact humanity has had on the world.

In Darkness Visible
Photographer Nicholas Hughes gives us richly detailed, dark and moody images of nature, as seen by a modern urban-dweller in the UK.
