About

Ray McSavaney is known for his sensitively seen and exquisitely crafted black and white images of natural and urban landscapes. Explorations: A Photographic Journey contains images taken by the photographer over a twenty years and is representative of most of his photographic projects. With subjects ranging from the unspoiled landscape to urban areas that have been used, neglected and forgotten by most people, McSavaney is attracted to subjects that have intrinsic beauty, even if their underlying associations or their actual uses are not immediately appealing.

Seven essays written by Ray McSavaney describe his photographic methods, his personal philosophy, and his stance toward the subjects he chooses to photograph. A foreword by the noted writer and photographer John Nichols gives the reader a remarkable insight into the photographers methodology and concerns.
