Cloudscape (photography)

Cloudscape (photography)

Cloudscape photography is photography of clouds or sky.

An early cloudscape photographer, Belgian photographer Léonard Misonne (1870-1943), was noted for his black and white photographs of heavy skies and dark clouds. [ [http://www.artnet.com/artist/679993/leonard-misonne.html Artnet.com] ]

In the early to middle 20th century, American photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) created a series of photographs of clouds, called "equivalents" (1925-1931). According to an essay on the series at the Phillips Collection website, "A symbolist aesthetic underlies these images, which became increasingly abstract equivalents of his own experiences, thoughts, and emotions." [ [http://www.phillipscollection.org/american_art/artwork/Stieglitz-Equivalent_Series1.htm Phillips Collection] ] More recently, photographers such as Ralph Steiner, Robert Davies, and Tzeli Hadjidimitriou have been noted for producing such images.
