Landscape Photography

Landscape photography is probably the most popular form of photography and thankfully our Earth provides us with so much beauty that we are spoilt for choice when it comes to this art form.

Photographers love getting out in the middle of nowhere and capturing the world in its most favourable light. Speaking of which, the magic golden hours just after sunrise and before sunset are the ideal times to head off in search of that perfect landscape shot. The sun is low in the sky at this time and gives off a warm yellow glow which is cast across the landscape creating exquisite tones and lines. There are no harsh lights at this time so everything has a magical look to it. A wide-angle lens is usually adopted to help portray the vast wilderness of the scene.

Of course it takes a lot of practice to produce the kind of images that people want to buy. Dedication and skill differentiate the holiday snapshots to those of professional landscape photographers. Some get up before light to set themselves up ready for the golden hour. Some find their perfect landscape view and then sit there for hours waiting for the ideal light. It might just be a break in the clouds that is needed for the photograph to go from a good shot to a work of art.

People love looking at landscape views on their walls. Perhaps it is a reflection of where we find ourselves today - stuck inside offices in the day and at home by the TV at night. Maybe human nature needs a stronger connection to nature and the outside world so we use pictures of the landscape to feed our instinctual need. Whatever the reason, there is so much choice in our landscape collection at Fotoviva that you are bound to find that perfect art print that speaks to your heart.

'Sometimes I do get to places just when God is ready to have somebody click the shutter'
Ansel Adams, Master Landscape Photographer.

Rolling fields, majestic mountains, calm lakes or sunsets over valleys - they all bring us closer to nature and create a tranquil atmosphere in our room. Our poster art prints are ready to frame, or you can buy them as a canvas art print ready to hang on your walls. For a more contemporary look try one of our landscape prints mounted between acrylic sheets. All are available in a range of sizes to ensure your wall space is maximised.
