Thank you kindly Jono, nice of you to say so. I think that Nadav is one of the finest photographers working today and that Yangtze series is just so, so beautiful. It absolutely has all of the qualities of purely pictorialist landscape work and then a whole lot more besides.
He was very helpful while I was writing the piece, taking time to answer questions and have discussions, which was amazing because he has multiple assignments and projects on the go. For my money he is about the most talented photographer in the fine art genre working in the UK at the moment and pretty damned big on the world stage too: he had White House access to do a piece whereby he shot the whole of Obama's first cabinet. Yet he still takes the time to help a little known critic like me. What a guy!
Plus the stuff he said about the differences between shooting film and digital were real eye-openers; the comments of someone who is predominantly an artist, not a technician, but who has brilliant technical skills. I bet some of the people on the MF forum here would find that stuff interesting, though it doesn't make me want to shoot film again any time soon. His latest project, some studio nudes, was shot on P65+ but his processing makes them look part oil painting and part film - quite ghostly, like a sort of Caravaggio meets Lucian Freud.
