Review

"Yet another coffee-table book of picturesque Irish scenes, you may think. Thankfully it's not so. Cavanagh sidesteps the conventional scenic approach, largely skipping the usual landmark sites and concentrating on expansive views that gain their tremendous impact from the accumulation of detail and careful composition." "A welcome addition to its genre, one of its many virtues is that it's responsive to the breathtaking beauty of the Irish landscape, while also viewing it coolly, documenting the complexity of the country rather than reinforcing old stereotypes." Aidan Dunne, Visual Arts Critic of the Irish Times "Exploring the Irish Landscape - a beautifully composed collection of black-and-white and colour scenics from all around Ireland is both brave and successful in offering something technically strong and original in style" "Perhaps the supreme test of landscape photography is whether it succeeds in making you want to be there. Cavanagh's Ireland is certainly wild, beautiful and inviting. He clearly loves it and few will be disappointed with this fine offering." Eileen Martin, Picture Editor Sunday Times Ireland "Though a longtime city-dweller, this native of Skreen, Co Sligo, has always retained an affinity for the countryside; those contrasting aspects are very evident in his exquisitely produced book, Exploring the Irish Landscape" Joe McNamee, The Irish Examiner
