Review: Landscape & Architecture (Bas Meelker & Pieter Dhaeze)

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

We received a copy of the 2nd edition of the book Landscape & Architecture by Bas Meelker and Pieter Dhaeze from publisher Van Duuren Media.

The book is a co-production by Bas Meelker and Pieter Dhaeze. I have become an admirer of Bas Meelker's photography, and, after attending one of his talks during a Canon product presentation, also of his way of explaining things and his presence.

Pieter Dhaeze is only familiar to me by name and from the 'More aware and better' series of photography books. He has already published quite a few works and is a well-known writer of photography books. He also provides advice, gives talks and offers tailored training courses.

The book Landscape & Architecture is part of the Focus on Photography series. This series consists of a number of titles specially developed and written for the field of photography. This book has practical content that you can immediately apply in practice. It is also a useful reference work and a recurring source of inspiration.
