Visions of Nature: How Landscape Photography Shaped Settler Colonialism Hore Jarrod
Visions of Nature revives the work of a cast of late nineteenth-century landscape photographers who shaped the environmental attitudes of settlers from Australia to California. They rode a wave of interest in wilderness imagery and made pictures that were hung in settler drawing rooms, perused in albums, projected in theaters, and recreated on vacations. Despite having little association with one another, these photographers developed remarkably similar visions of nature.
During this key period of settler revolution, a generation of photographers came to associate "nature" with remoteness, antiquity, and emptiness, a perspective that disguised the realities of Indigenous presence and reinforced colonial fantasies of In both the American West and the Tasman world, landscape photography fed into settler belonging and produced new ways of thinking about territory and history.
