About the Book
Is sport a phenomenon that is based on purely physical, competitive activity or can it also exhibit inspirational artistic moments as well? This book takes a look at both these aspects of sport featuring the photography of Eileen Langsley whose belief is that artistry is inherent in all kinds of sports and who takes the reader on a journey of exploration of this theme in each chapter of the book. ‘The Art of the Moment’ features exciting images captured at the peak of the action; ‘The Art in Detail’ takes a closer look; ‘The Art of Expression’ includes artistry in movement as well as in the emotions on show; ‘The Art of Observation’ focuses on the importance of this quality to the photographer; ‘Created Art’ looks at how photographers can use photographic techniques to generate a different way of looking at images; ‘The Art of the Event’ demonstrates how photographers can step back from the action to put the activity in the context of the whole environment. This large format coffee table quality book of 118 pages is a resume of a lifetime of sports photography and includes many of the author's favourite images.
