HIGH LIGHT
by Dave Butcher
High Light is a large format 64-page softback featuring 60 stunning black
and white landscape images, the solo book debut of widely respected
landscape photographer Dave Butcher.
Dave is a member of Peak District Products and High Peak Artists and
Craft Workers Association. High Light includes four portfolios of his
images of hills and high places both within and outside the UK, including
several magnificent landscapes of the Peak District in sharp,
monochrome detail.
The reader is also offered advice on equipment and techniques for
successful landscape photography, extending to traditional darkroom
printing techniques, which Dave continues to use exclusively as the best
medium for his twin passions of photography and hill and mountain
walking. He has been producing photographs for almost 30 years and
has exhibited widely. Many of his images have been used to illustrate
other publications and magazines and he is a regular, highly respected
guest lecturer on the UK camera club circuit.
Published in the Arem Photography Portfolios Series, High Light is
priced £12.99 and available from the Photography Shop in Bakewell and
Buxton, the Pump Room in Buxton, or order online from
Dave Butcher Photography.
