Moving from Montreal to Canada’s Capital I did not like this city, in fact, I found it dull and ugly. But everywhere I saw brilliant photographs of Ottawa.I visited the photo museum for an exhibition and learned about this artist who must have loved Ottawa, to celebrate it in such beautiful images: Malak Karsh.
In his latest coffee table book the reader does not expect less then prefect images of Canada’s nature and beauty. But not only this: they also show again his love to Canada and introduces the reader to the diversity of landscapes and the soul of the country in this journey through all provinces.
“Canada: The Land that Shapes Us” explores our magnificent country in 105 colour and 30 black-and-white images. Karsh captures the vast beauty that is Canada. From the quaint fishing villages of Atlantic Canada to the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, Malak offers a unique visual portrait of the people and places that make up this remarkable nation. Most importantly, however, this book is a beautifully designed retrospective of a photographer's lifelong love and work.
