Michael Kenna: Immagini del settimo giorno/ Images of the Seventh Day

I have written reviews for his other books and must say that each and every one is amazing. I just love his work and the way he creates a photograph, composition, and work in the darkroom. Studying his work is the best lesson for any photographer out there. You can clearly see how he works the composition to perfection, taking his time to ensure every element is just perfect. I have been a photographer for 25+ years and find myself learning a tremendous amount from his photographs. I highly recommend anyone purchase his books. You will not be disappointed. The hardbound books are well made and the quality of the paper is fantastic. Plus you really get a lot for your money. There is a vast amount of pages and photographs to see. Very well done books. Congrats to Michael Kenna and the publisher. Lastly, I just want to say.... support our photographers. If you want to continue to see this level of work being done then show your support by purchasing one of their books. As a fellow photographer and am constantly buying others books. Photographers work their butt's off in the field and endure many challenging conditions to bring this work to you. Anyway, this is a fantastic book and well worth the small price.

While this book is well done and presented - and Michael's work is so refreshing in it's composure and tonality - I received two other books for Christmas - Forms of Japan and 20 Year Retrospective (published 8 years prior to this?). If you're new to his work or looking for a best representation of his work, the 20 Year Retrospective would be my recommendation. The Forms of Japan is a nice deep dive into his work in one region.This book, however, - as well presented as it is - seems redundant to his 20 Year Retrospective and I found much of the same works in each.

Very comprehensiveWell curated

Wonderful book well worth the price, which is very affordable.

Kenna is in a class by himself.

An eclectic mix of beautiful black-and-white photography. The printing is very good in this edition. This book has whet my appetite for more of his work. I highly recommend.

This book contains a variety of Michael Kenna's work, from the 70's until recently. If you are a Michael Kenna fan, you will not be disappointed.

Pretty well printed. Kenna is the best medium format photographer working today.

If as the old adage goes 99% of all photgraphs have been taken in the last 5 years then be grateful for artists like Michael Kenna.They are a dying breed.Michael kenna is without doubt one of the worlds finest "landscape" photographers and his work never ceases to astonish me.Indeed I attended the same college in London as he did ,but some years later when "landscape" and "beauty" in Photography was considered Patriarchial by the radical feminist deconstructualists who had taken over the cirriculum back in the dark days of the 1980's. Yes there have been many imitators of his work but the sheer volume and consistency and his ability to make us see in a completely different way is what makes him stand head and shoulders above the rest.This book is the first of his work which I have bought, in fact the first book of Photographs I have bought in over 20 years.It will take it's place alongside other great Books by Fay Godwin and John Davies, two other photographers who I admire.This book of Michael kennas has reminded me what a terrible cul de sac Digital photography has lead us into with the Camera Industry obsession with mega pixels and sensor formats.At the end of the day that is just all a load of old C***.The Print at the end of the process is what matters. Photography is primarily about light and Michael Kenna is a master. Shooting with a Hasselblad on 120 B&W Analogue .Interestingly he said in a recent Video interview that (paraphrased/probably misquoted) "you can't do this sort of photography at the weekend, it takes hard work" I think that is the key , a lifetimes dedication to a subject in the search of beauty. Buy this book and spend a lifetime contemplating each image. highly recommended Excellent

My first Michael Kenna book after having viewed his images online. I'm very happy I bought it, so much so that I ordered Forms of Japan about two weeks later. I can wholeheartedly recommend that book too!

If you are looking for some retrospective of his work, this might be it. If you own more than two of his other books, you don't need it.

The book arrived promptly and in good condition but when I looked at the book I was a little disappointed. Although he is without doubt a fine photographer the quality of the printing and reproduction was certainly not up to the standard I was expecting.

Fantastic Book

Amazing photographer.

Exultant book someone reported that the translation was poor but I only look at the pictures

Aunque el texto viene en inglés e italiano por corresponder a una exposición de este autor en Italia, el libro recoge las fotografías hechas desde 1974 a 2009 que se escogieron para esta exposición. La calidad de las imágenes y el papel impreso es lo que exiges a un buen libro de fotografía. Incluye al principio unas páginas en papel amarillento que contienen el texto del libro así como algunas imágenes que le da un aspecto interesante. Buen precio para esta obra que en librerías es de 50€

Dieses Werk ist einfach nur GRANDIOS. Für jeden Liebhaber der Schwarz-Weiss-Fotografie ein absolutes Muss. Michael Kenna steht aus meiner Sicht auf einer Stufe mit so bedeutenden Fotografen wie Ansel Adams oder Sebastiao Salgado (sofern man die Bilder dieser Fotografen mag).Meine Bücherschränke sind voll mit Bildbänden. Wenn ich nur einen einzigen davon behalten dürfte, dann würde ich mich aktuell für Kennas "Images of the Seventh Day" entscheiden.

Buen resumen de parte de la obra de este gran paisajista minimalista. Buena calidad del libro y las imágenes, con un tamaño fácil de manejar.Si te gusta la obra de Michael Kenna, es un libro imprescindible en tu biblioteca y si te gustan los paisajes y/o la fotografía minimalista pero llena de mensaje, compralo y no te arrepentirás.

Dieser Band gibt einen Überblick über die Arbeit des Photographen Michael Kenna. Es handelt sichum schwarz weiss Arbeiten. Michael Kenna hat einen sehr eigenen Stil entwickelt. Seine Photographienvermitteln eine fast mystische, meditative Stimmung. Ich mochte das sehr. Aber wie immer bei Kunst ist daseine subjektive Einschätzung. Anderseits hat Michael Kenna weltweit auch auf dem Kunstmarkt Erfolg,also bin ich nicht alleine mit dieser Einschätzung. Der Band is hochwertig gemacht.

Un buen libro, de calidad, con fotos emblemáticas de Michael Kenna. Por otro lado, hay unas cuantas que me da la sensación de que son de relleno. Vamos ir no están las top, aunque sí unas cuantas. Por eso no pongo 5 estrellas.

Ein sehr schön und sehr interessant gestaltetes Fotobuch. Die Aufnahmen sind hervorragend und animieren mit der Kamera auf Reisen zu gehen. Aber nicht nur zum Anschauen ist das Buch, sondern auch um seine eigenen fotografischen Fähigkeiten weiter zu entwickeln. Einfach toll.

Beeindruckende Fotos auf besten Buchpapier gedruckt. Für einen Fotografie-Begeisterten eine Quelle von "Aha's" und Ideen. Michael Kenna ist ein Meister der Komposition und Schwarzweißgestaltung.

Michael Kenna hat es geschafft, das ich nun mit meiner Mittelformatkamera und Stativ durch Wald und Flur wandere um Motive zu finden.Grandiose Kompositionen, klare Linien, und daraus folgend , wirklich wunderbare Bilder.Definitiv einen Blick wert dieses Buch!
