Clyde Butcher’s black and white photographs explore his personal relationship with the environment. The exquisite beauty and depth of his work draw the viewer into a relationship with nature. For more than thirty-five years, he has been preserving on film the untouched areas of the landscape. His images are captured with an 8”x 10” , 11”x 14” and 12”x 20” view camera. The large format camera allows him to express the elaborate detail and textures that distinguish the intricacy of the landscape. His photographs range in sizes from 8x10 inches to 5x8 feet.
