BARBIERI, OLIVO (photographs), Stefano Boeri and Walter Guadagnini (text). The Waterfall Project. Unpaginated, roughly 40 color plates. 4to, boards. Bologna, Damiani, 2008.
Using a large-format camera that allows him to play with the layers of focus in a picture, Barbieri has photographed 4 famous waterfalls, turning real scenes into ones that you would swear are painted models. But despite their unreal feel, all of his images have been created by carefully controlling the optical techniques of his camera and haven't been digitally altered or distorted after shooting. Fool your friends with this one.
