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)
《超越岩石》（More Than a Rock）表面上是一本關於風景攝影的書籍，但實際上是一本關於創造力和表達的熱情和個人書籍。攝影師和教師Guy Tal在這一系列的文章中分享了他作為一位藝術家的思考和經歷，他在圖像中試圖表達的不僅僅是被描繪主題的外觀。
Tal主張將創造性的風景攝影——通過自然美學的運用來表達攝影師的概念——視為一種與美麗的自然場景的單純描繪有所不同的視覺藝術形式。
Tal涵蓋了攝影藝術、風景攝影方法以及一位從事攝影藝術工作的人的經歷等主題。他的文章還包括對自然和人類在其中的位置、過有意義的生活以及在當今世界中作為藝術家生活的反思。
這本書明確地不涉及技術問題，而是專注於哲學、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。任何追求將自己的作品視為藝術、需要靈感或對全職攝影藝術家的著作感興趣的人都會從閱讀這本書中受益。這本書以Tal令人振奮和令人驚嘆的攝影作品為視覺亮點。
“有些圖像看起來像東西，而有些圖像感覺像東西；有些圖像是關於東西的，而有些圖像是關於東西的。……一幅創意圖像不是場景的記錄，也不是真實體驗的替代品。相反，它本身就是一種體驗——一種美學體驗——藝術家給世界帶來的新事物，而不是對已經獨立於他們之外存在的事物的人為觀點。” ～Guy Tal
****
“Guy Tal的攝影思考深入、富有同情心和詩意；難怪他的著作在我身上引起了類似的感受。如果你想成為一位更好的相機使用者，閱讀你的使用手冊。如果你想成為一位更強大、更深入的攝影師，閱讀Guy Tal的著作。” ～David duChemin
