In a time when nature seems increasingly distant from our daily lives, Darren Almond's 'Fullmoon' serves as a beautiful reminder of the magic that exists in our surroundings. This exquisite book features over 370 photographs that capture various landscapes across the globe, all under the soft glow of a full moon. Almond's ability to harness light transforms familiar scenes into something otherworldly.

The concept of long exposure photography allows the landscape to breathe and express itself in ways that are often unseen. As Almond himself notes, 'With long exposures, you can never see what you are shooting, but you are giving the landscape longer to express itself.' This artistic approach emphasizes the relationship between time and perception, encouraging viewers to slow down and appreciate the subtleties of nature.

'Fullmoon' also engages with romantic notions of nature, reflecting on how these ideals evolve in today's world. From the majestic mountains of America to the serene coastlines of Japan, each photograph tells a story of place and time. The narrative is enriched by the thoughtful introduction from Sheena Wagstaff of the Metropolitan Museum and an insightful essay by critic Brian Dillon, both of which deepen our understanding of Almond's artistic vision.

Moreover, this updated edition encapsulates the entire arc of Almond’s 'Fullmoon' series, inviting both longtime fans and new readers to explore the interplay of light and landscape. By revealing the hidden narratives within nature, Almond's work beckons us to consider the past while pondering the future of our environment.
