The Painter's Pool, 29 Jem Southam

One of the most exciting parts of my day at Art Chicago was finding photographers whose work I was unfamiliar with. British photographer Jem Southam's landscapes are so fully realized that you step into them and want to spend an afternoon exploring. You can read about him and see more of the images in the series here. There is an interview with him here and Nazraeli Press has just published a book The Painter's Pool here. This is absolutely one to go into the collection.
