This is classic work. I’m very impressed. I’d so love to see this work on paper rather than my computer screen.
It somehow begs the question about the whole concept of making beautiful photographs of difficult subjects. Would a more “edgy” style be more appropriate? What is the intent? What are we trying to say? Would a Eugene Richards approach be more effective than the more classic Eugene Smith approach we see here? So many questions. On one hand, I’m distracted by the beauty of the images. Should we be making beautiful images of difficult realities?
Congratulations Giorgio. I love this.
