Clyde Butcher is an American large format camera photographer. While his earlier works were in color, he switched to black and white after his son died. Butcher is best known for his wilderness photography of Florida landscapes. This work speaks to a variety of the relationships between well-being and the natural world--Butcher made it as part of an effort to save the Everglades. As part of a conservation effort, the photograph nods to the necessary consideration of well-being for endangered environments. The wide, almost distorted, image combines with black-and-white photography to create an immersive, compelling picture of the wildlife refuge. This draws in the viewer to experience the refuge’s natural beauty and harmony.
