This fascinating collection of fine art landscape photography, with words by arts and culture writer Rosalind Jana, brings together work that expresses each artist\u2019s view of Britain\u2019s people and terrain in the 21st century. <\/p>\n\n
As Jana writes in the introduction: \u201cA landscape is not merely a reflection, but an embodiment of contemporary concerns, cutting to the heart of how we live together and understand ourselves as a country.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
From Robert Friends\u2019 images of places where city and country collide and clash, to the wry humour of Toby Coulson\u2019s tiny people in large-scale landscapes (Seven Sisters, pictured here), Alex Ingram\u2019s moving portraits of wildlife wardens on remote islands and Toby Trueman\u2019s exquisite images of coastal horizons, there is much to touch the heart and soul in these pages.<\/p>\n\n
