Jeffrey Conley: Winter

Having grown up in the northeastern United States, I can vividly remember the childhood feeling of waking up on a Winters’ morning and looking out the window at a magical, snow covered world. I was enthralled with the ethereal qualities of snow; how it defined and transformed objects, reflected light, and how it softened sound. Over the years as a photographer I have continued to be captivated and inspired by the simple, transcendent, yet austere winter landscape. When I look at the collection of photographs that comprise this book, I am brought back to the places and individual experiences they represent. Some of the photographs were made in spectacularly remote places, others in profoundly ordinary locations where a confluence of elements brought about something unique and inspiring. Ultimately, these photographs are the result of my journeys and observations, and have provided an intense personal peace that I hope is felt by others.

Jeffrey Conley's first monograph, Winter, was published by Nazraeli Press in 2011. It comprised a selection of 42 images of the essence of “winter”, quickly selling out and becoming a highly collectible monograph. Since this first publication, Conley has matured into one of the most accomplished landscape photographers of our time. We are now pleased to announce a new and remastered edition of this important first book, which includes 18 additional images as well as the original 42, all remastered and reproduced to the highest standards on Korean art paper.

Known for his meticulously crafted black and white prints, which have been widely exhibited and collected in the United States and abroad, Conley has been the subject of four monographs and seen his work exhibited and collected by public and private institutions throughout the United States and Europe. Conley lives and works in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.

This new and expanded edition of Winter is printed in duotone on natural art paper, bound in linen, and is limited to 1,500 copies.
