"Petra" is a photo book by American photographer Emmet Gowin. Gowin has been active in various fields since the 1960s, from intimate portraits of his wife Edith and his family to landscapes with a deep natural environment set in America and Europe. He studied under Harry Callahan at the Rhode Island School of Design and later studied under Frederick Somer, and is also an artist who has long been engaged in visual arts education at Princeton University's Department of Humanities. This book is a collection of photographs published at the exhibition in 1986, which is Gowin's representative work "Petra". Petra, a valley in Jordan, visited by an invitation from a woman who was a student at Princeton University and later became a queen of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. A book composed of a picture of a ruined, mysterious, and breathtakingly beautiful ruin, which was described as "Rose-Red Stone" because of its appearance. A mysterious beauty by a photographer who is fascinated by the scenery that changes its expression depending on time and the unique atmosphere created by its long history.
