Description
Book SynopsisJourney high above the world's most unforgettable waterscapes via this stunning collection of aerial photographs by David Ondaatje.
Water Views is a breathtaking overview (literally) of the most striking bodies of water from around the world. Photographed with state-of-the-art drone technology by author and filmmaker David Ondaatje, these stunning aerial images range from the picturesque beaches of Carmel-by-the-Sea and Gaviota Beach to the wild coasts of Oregon, placid lakes from Tahoe to Como, the emerald waters of the Bahamas and Belize, the meandering fishing rivers of British Columbia and Montana.
Ever-present in this selection, some of which debuted in his recent exhibition at the acclaimed ROSEGALLERY in Los Angeles, is Ondaatje’s deep personal affection for solitude, the unspoiled beauty of the nature, coastal water patterns, and fly-fishing in isolated areas. Annotated with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, these photographs take you on a spectacular journey from above as you share Ondaatje’s unique first look at some of the most beautiful places in his world, all tied to the compelling and blissful power of water.
Trade Review'Water Views is an insightful re-viewing of where water meets land. The particular aerial perspective of the drone, combined with the fine art aesthetic of a landscape photographer, allows for a new way of thinking and feeling.' - FRAMES Magazine
