This book is brilliantly conceived, magnificently executed, and superbly produced. The photographer has an uncanny ability to find beauty in--of all things- geology! But this isn't a textbook. It is a compilation of aerial photographs of the earth, which can only be described as uncanny and remarkable. When you think about it, Bernhard Edmaier had to first see a scene from the air and then realize its potential. But then he had to figure out where the sun needed to be in order to really capture the colors just right. Edmaier has a knack for this, which he has previously proven with his other masterpieces "Earthsong" and Earth on Fire". But this latest release is his finest book yet. All of his photographs in EarthArt are printed against a clean black background to really set off the quality of the colors and photographs themselves. I know of no other aerial photographer that can pull it off like Edmaier can. And a word about the publisher Phaidon; these are the guys that published the large-format post-911 masterpiece called "Aftermath" which I also own. Phaidon does justice to coffee table books, but manages to do it without charging an arm and both legs. And EarthArt is one of their latest offerings worth your consideration. Once you purchase this book, you will not be satisfied until you own the whole set. But what a trio of delights they are!!!
Read, devoured, at the New York Society Library.This compilation of aerial photographs of the earth is amazing in conception, scouting, framing, photographing and then actual producing this beautiful book. Bernhard Edmaier had to realize a scene from the air could make a great photograph. Then he had to work out the correct angles between his camera and the light from the sun, all this when both the plane and the sun were moving against the scene.As a hiker, I am always amazed at how the landscape changes during the day, and in particular how the colors change. Edmaier seems to have an innate ability to work out all these factors. He has done it before in two other splendid books:Earthsong -- the hardcover is superior to the paperback version, andand Earth On Fire: How Volcanoes Shape Our Planet .The photographs are printed against a black background on high quality paper and with excellent reproductions. Phaidon; means "quality" in art books, and this is one of their best, a book they should be proud of and that I would be proud to put in a place of honor in my new apartment.Robert C. RossMay 2016
