This publication accompanies the first exhibition of celebrated landscape photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper. The exhibition In The Near Field will include works from three series: The British Quartets, European Waterfalls and Following the English Greenwich Meridian – 0° Longitude.

Cooper was born in California in 1946 and completed a MA in Art specializing in photography at the University of New Mexico in 1972. He has for many years lived in Scotland and founded the new Fine Art Photography department at Glasgow School of Art in 1982.

As with other land based artists such as Richard Long and Hamish Fulton, Cooper has spent much of his time travelling the globe, capturing extraordinary images at significant locations, often at its extremities. His stunning large scale black and white photographs encapsulate the psychological impact of a particular place through both physical and atmospheric elements.

For Cooper, a single image can involve months of planning, preparation and exacting travel. He relies solely on his antique field camera to capture his contemplative and intricately detailed single exposures, developed and printed using silver gelatine and chloro-bromide as in the earliest 19th century processes.

Beyond Words is a specialist retailer of photographic books, founded by Neil McIlwraith in January 1998. We ran a bookshop on Edinburgh’s Cockburn Street until the summer of 2010. Since then we have concentrated on selling online.
