Read and See: The African Landscapes We Never See

Renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky takes viewers on a visual odyssey through the often-overlooked landscapes of African countries in his compelling book "African Studies." This collection offers a unique perspective, revealing the intricacies of the continent's diverse terrains, from vast deserts to lush ecosystems. Burtynsky's lens captures the interplay between human activity and the natural world, as described so well in this article from feature shoot. The author, Ellyn Kail writes, “Edward Burtynsky isn’t known for his photographs of people, but the human cost of large-scale industrial activities becomes clear throughout these pages…While Burtynsky’s photographs often have an ‘otherworldly’ quality, these photographs, in particular, are very clearly of our world and of our making.” Delve deeper into the unseen beauty and environmental nuances of sub-Saharan Africa through Burtynsky's lens, as highlighted in this insightful article: “Edward Burtynsky Reveals the African Landscapes We Never See.”
