Philip Hyde… master photographer at the Lumière Gallery

Philip Hyde was truly a master landscape photographer. He studied with the likes of Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Minor White among others. He went on to pioneer the use of color in landscape and wilderness photography. He loved the wilderness, dedicated himself to protecting it, and his intimate and moving photographs were a mainstay in Sierra Club books for years.

The Lumière Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia has an exhibit of Philip Hyde’s wilderness photography, and has put together a short video of his works with narration and commentary by his son David Leland Hyde celebrating wilderness. It’s beautifully done:
