All images Edward Burtynsky<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Edward Burtynsky belongs to a cadre of photographers who have made their name by creating large-scale and often awe-inspiring works that record manufactured landscapes and the results of humanity\u2019s impact upon the world. Also in this group you\u2019ll find Andreas Gursky, a German photographer notable for his ability to present scenes from an almost dizzying elevated vantage point, although, as he himself admits, it\u2019s a method aided by digital manipulation. But where Gursky\u2019s images are, as The New Yorker once said,&#8217;splashy&#8217; and &#8216;entertaining&#8217; Burtynsky&#8217;s work is more frank and sober in its approach. Distinct themes are present throughout, such as water, the oil industry, shipbuilding, mines and quarries. Each of these themes had distinct projects to represent them when they first appeared, but in Essential Elements we find that each of these projects has been reproduced together to create a flowing narrative. As a collection, the book treats Burtynsky\u2019s work as a whole. Quite incredibly, it\u2019s also the first time Burtynsky has been the subject of a career-overview book.<\/p>\n<p>While many of Burtynsky\u2019s images are a beautiful treat to behold (there\u2019s around four decades worth of work to see, including previously unpublished images), a more clear-headed approach reveals a scarred and tortured landscape. The collection is timely considering our recent inauguration into the so-called Anthropocene epoch \u2013 a geological period that carries clear evidence of man\u2019s impact on the environmental conditions of Earth.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_97195&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97195 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg\" alt=\"edward burtynsky owens lake\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg?resize=135,100 135w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg?resize=533,400 533w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg?resize=900,675 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Owens-Lake.jpg?resize=562,422 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Owens Lake #5, California, USA, 2009<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Some of the landscapes look like the remnants of an abandoned civilisation. That\u2019s the key to Burtynsky\u2019s images \u2013 scale. If you were to walk through these locations on foot, it would be difficult to get a sense of them. But Burtynsky goes one step further by using elevated platforms and topography (and more recently, aviation), and through his camera and sizeable prints, he is able to deliver images that reveal the breadth and depth of the landscapes. This is why they feel alien. Rarely do we see sights like this through our own eyes. Rarely do we have the opportunity to absorb the sheer scale of our impact on the earth. Burtynsky has categorised his work as standing in contrast to Henri Cartier-Bresson\u2019s \u2018decisive moment\u2019. Instead, what we have is the \u2018contemplative moment\u2019 \u2013 images that require time and thought to truly absorb what it is we\u2019re seeing.<\/p>\n<h2>Documenting the hyperreal<\/h2>\n<p>The majority of Burtynsky\u2019s work taken up until 2003 was captured with a large- format Linhof field camera and 4x5in film. However, in recent years Burtynsky has shot a lot of work from the air using helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, meaning that he has been required to switch to digital. The Linhof had to be shot with a narrow aperture, which meant slower shutter speeds \u2013 a nightmare when the vibration of aviation is shaking you all over the place. But the switch to high resolution does something quite distinct. The textures and colours are somewhat elevated. They are unique and hyperreal, and in that sense they feel incredibly contemporary. As the world has moved on, so has Burtynsky\u2019s approach to image-making. It fits perfectly. Despite the aesthetic contrasts, Burtynsky\u2019s work could potentially be seen as a cousin to that of Sebastia\u0303o Salgado. Together, both photographers tell a story of the journey of humankind and its impact upon the world.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that both their works have been captured over a period of decades, they are both notable for their ability to capture our most modern concerns: things such as migration\/immigration, displacement, globalised economy, climate change, oil, natural resources, warfare, and so on. As with Salgado\u2019s images, it would be easy to adopt a stringent pessimism and hopelessness. But beyond that, there is a slither of optimism. It\u2019s just something you need to really look for in Burtynsky\u2019s work. His aim is not to make us feel bad, but concerned. His aim is to highlight and inspire. That\u2019s why these images are so detailed and huge. Like the best photography, they grab your attention first and then force you to ask questions. It\u2019s a call to arms, not physically, obviously, but mentally and emotionally. And in that respect they are pretty effective.<\/p>\n<p>Burtynsky\u2019s images force us to look upon our work as a rapacious species and ask \u2018Was it worth it?\u2019 He doesn\u2019t offer solutions, but it\u2019s not his job to. That\u2019s up to us as the audience.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_97193&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97193 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Dam.jpg\" alt=\"edward burtynsky dam\" width=\"1000\" height=\"797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Dam.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Dam.jpg?resize=300,239 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Dam.jpg?resize=502,400 502w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Dam.jpg?resize=900,717 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Dam.jpg?resize=562,448 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Dam #6, Three Gorges Dam Project, Yangtze River, China, 2005<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>SCORE: 5 out of 5<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97192\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Edward-Burtynsky-Essential-Elements-book-cover.jpg\" alt=\"edward burtynsky essential elements book cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"253\" \/>\n<p><strong>Published by:<\/strong> Thames &amp; Hudson<br \/>\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> \u00a345, 202 pages, hardback<br \/>\n<strong>ISBN:<\/strong> 978-0- 50054-461-7<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A volume on Edward Burtynsky\u2019s work depicts the globalised economy and its impact on nature.
