LandEscape Art Review, Special Edition

Donna Carnahan

My collection represents majestic beauty recorded while on foot on the Amalfi coast. Bringing back my photos from the Old World reminds me of the renewal of my own mind and refreshment of my soul I experienced at the seaside and exploring the gardens of Villa Cimbrone. Images of Italian summers can be good for the heart, soul, and mental health, as we all get through these times together. Surround yourself in the majestic beauty of Italy and feel the romantic vibes open your heart. “Donna Carnahan, international photographer from Houston, Texas, specializes in international landscape photography. Since 2015, gaining inspiration from her love of Renaissance art in Florence, Italy, she has traveled extensively throughout 10+ regions of Italy. She has a passion for travel to remote and little known places where she photographically captures hidden gems of nature.

When I was visiting the Czech Republic, my ancestral home, for the first time, we went up to the Petrin Tower in Prague and rode the elevator to the top. It was there that I experienced the breathtaking aerial view of Prague below. The geometric shapes of the historic buildings were very much contrasting to the spires rising up from the structures and rooftops below. Particularly, I wanted to include the entire surrounding Czech Castle and to have the main focal point of St. Vitus Cathedral draw the viewer's eye to the rising spires. In that way the viewer could experience the expansiveness from the elevated focal point.
