John Chiara: California

John Chiara creates his own cameras and chemical processes, in order to make unique photographs that use the direct exposure of light onto reversal film and paper. Each resulting photograph is a singular, luminous object. This highly anticipated first book includes the surreal and thrilling landscape and architectural images for which the artist has become known. John Chiara: California features images taken in the artist's hometown of San Francisco and other locations along the Pacific Coast. An essay by Virginia Heckert situates Chiara's work in the landscape tradition of the American West and discusses this process-driven work.
