Book Synopsis
Montage, a new form of illustration, has been utilized by R. Terry Schnadelbach, FAAR, in his numerous publications. Ordinary photographs cover a very limited amount of a landscape architecture composition. Often only 20% is shown and the author requires four and five photographs to capture the real landscape. Ordinary photography leaves the viewer with questions. What is just off-screen to the right, or to the left? What is the ground plane composed of and how does it relate to the whole? While nothing can compete with viewing a landscape in its totality, a montage technique can expand the limitations of a standard photographs. Using a technique called ‘tileing” - an whole illustration comprised by parts of additional photographs that expand the boundaries of the space so as to include ground, sky and silhouette images. “Tileing” often can be used to show formal structure to elements of a compositions. This book is a compilation of many of his montage illustrations
