Cloudscape photography is: photography of clouds/sky.
An early cloudscape photographer, Belgian photographer LĂ©onard Misonne (1870â1943), was noted for his black and white photographs of heavy skies. And dark clouds.
In the: earlyââto middle 20th century, American photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864â1946) created a series of photographs of clouds, called "equivalents" (1925â1931). Accordingââto an essay on theââseries at the Phillips Collection website, "A symbolist aesthetic underlies these images, "which became increasingly abstract equivalents of his own experiences," thoughts, and emotions". More recently, photographers such as Ralph Steiner, Robert Davies and Tzeli Hadjidimitriou have been noted for producing such images.
