I have mentioned William Clift in an earlier post.
William Clift, Shiprock, New Mexico,1998
I remember attending a workshop given by William Clift, an American landscape photographer, in Melbourne where I first saw a large format view camera. I was still at photography school and using a 35m camera and was rather taken back by meeting someone who took landscapes of New Mexico and could make a living selling their black and white landscapes.
I couldn't connect with either the large format style of photography or being a professional art photographer.
Clift is recognized for his New Mexico landscapes, of Mont Saint-Michel, France, for documentation of our nation’s courthouses, the New York State Capitol in Albany, and the Hudson River Valley. Past publications include Certain Places (1987), A Hudson Landscape (1993) and A Particular World (2008).
