Colombian land - Colombian land

In this book of Colombian landscape photography, Santiago Harker manages to surprise us with the grand scale of our land's landscape and reveal a particular rhythm in the journey, unique to this land, which can be felt as one turns the pages.

Juan Esteban Constaín's prologue, in Spanish and English, presents the perspective of a Colombian marveling at photographs of a country new to his eyes, and poses the questions that we, as readers, also ask ourselves when viewing the photographs.

The Colombian landscape photographs selected in this book are never-before-seen images from the most diverse points of our geography, showing us a country rich in tones, textures, colors, and chiaroscuro.
