About the work
Both The Snow Garden and At Plough – The End of the Furrow are only partly in focus. This was a conscious choice, representing the very core of Emerson's views of how photography should render reality. In his photographs he wanted to depict the world as seen by the eye, and not as recorded by the camera lens. This is how he arrived at his ‘selective focus’.
