Description
Fernando Manso's photographs capture the essence of Spain's lesser-known corners, revealing hidden truths about the country's landscapes and architecture. From Galicia to Almería, he explores coasts, deserts, mountains, forests, and natural pools, often stopping at old churches, ghostly castles, or majestic cathedrals.
Through his large-format camera, Manso seeks out a different light - one that eschews blue skies and brilliant sunshine for the subtle, intimate visions of places we may think we know but can barely recognize. His technique, art, and patience allow him to draw us into an artistic heritage that is both secret and hard to reach.
By revealing these often-vulnerable places after detailed investigation, Manso not only preserves natural scenery as a patrimony but also reminds us of our responsibility to care for it. This book presents his remarkable journey, a testament to the power of photography to reveal and protect the beauty that surrounds us.
