Cloudscape photography is photography of clouds or sky.
An early cloudscape photographer, Belgian photographer Léonard Misonne (1870-1943), was noted for his black and white photographs of heavy skies and dark clouds.[1]
In the early to middle 20th century, American photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) created a series of photographs of clouds, called "equivalents" (1925-1931). According to an essay on the series at the Phillips Collection website, "A symbolist aesthetic underlies these images, which became increasingly abstract equivalents of his own experiences, thoughts, and emotions".[2] More recently, photographers such as Ralph Steiner, Robert Davies (see catalogue listed below), and Tzeli Hadjidimitriou (see also catalogue listed below) have been noted for producing such images.
