{"product_id":"china-tibet-mountain-range","title":"Tibetan Mountain Ridges Black and White Photography","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFolded Hills Leading Toward Distant Snow Covered Peaks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foreground rises in folds, each ridge revealing another valley behind it. During my travels through Tibet in 2015, I photographed this mountain landscape with its nearer slopes filling most of the frame and a line of snow-covered peaks along the horizon. In black and white, the view becomes an arrangement of rounded forms, dark gullies, and pale distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI find the nearer hills particularly compelling. They are rugged without having the sharp silhouettes of the peaks beyond them. Their surfaces carry long channels and small dark patches, with light tracing the shoulders of the ridges. Toward the middle of the photograph, those separate contours converge around a deep valley that draws the eye inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distant snow adds a different texture. Its brighter band lifts the horizon above the darker land, while the pale sky gives the whole range a little breathing room. There is no single summit dominating the composition. Instead, the landscape unfolds across the image through a succession of slopes and changes in tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat sense of progression is what I wanted to hold in the photograph. The close detail invites a careful look, but the view also retains the scale of the mountains beyond it. As a print, it brings a layered mountain study to a living room, study, or quiet corner. Its restrained monochrome tones sit comfortably with a simple interior, leaving the terrain’s natural lines to carry the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2015\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"8 × 20 inches (20.3 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40472731189327,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 × 24 inches (25.4 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40965125603407,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Tibetan-Mountain-Ridges-Black-and-White-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792317881","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/china-tibet-mountain-range","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
