Edward Burtynsky : Manufactured Landscapes

2005 TED Prize winner, Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky presents, in this video, his highly acclaimed body of work "Manufactured Landscapes".

Ed Burtynsky has always been drawn to the landscape and specifically man's impact on it and how humans mold and alter the landscape, often to detrimental long term effect, in order that we can continue to live and serve our consumerism lifestyle. His subject matter stretches from mines to oil wells to the industrial revolution in China.

Burtynsky photographs these scenes with immaculate detail using a large format camera in order to present to us all the detail and scale of these places.

Our way of life comes at a price and Edward Burtynsky's goal is to have us stop and look and think about the change we make to our landscape through the decisions we make daily.

Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, photographer Edward Burtynsky makes a wish: that his images help persuade millions to join a global conversation on sustainability.

Photographing a New City

As I write this post, I am venturing in the beautiful city of Budapest Hungary. This old historic city has so much to offer with the culture, the people and the mystique of a place so vastly different from the one I live in. The textures, colors, the varied terrain and spendid architecture allow so many incredible stimuli for pictures. I just keep shooting and the pleasure is surreal.

It is so important as an artist to stay inspired. One of the greatest skills an artist can have, I believe, is the ability to do this. Travelling is a good way to find the "new", always so rewarding for the eyes.

Alex Webb, a great Magnum photographer, has produced a wonderful set of images of the city of Istanbul and displays them in a video presentation attached here. I hope you enjoy this interpretation as much as I have. This video comes to us via Youtube.
