Thank you for sharing. I found some of his editorials stunning. His ability to capture the moment, ambient, feelings and moods of his models is gorgeous.

I found that photography is as diverse as music. Different styles for different people. What I particularly liked on this photo was the feeling of continuous space, the industrial background and the surreal act of bathing in a frozen river. All in a static, pleasant composition.

The layering of his images reminds me of Gursky in some way, it's really neat and arranged, but so visually striking. Thanks a lot for sharing, I wasn't familiar with his works!

Yep, I also though of Gursky when I saw this. But I like him better. Though, you never know how you'll feel in front of a Gursky photograph the way the author meant it to be presented.

The first thing that strikes me upon seeing photographs by Andreas Gursky is their size, with several prints as large as 6’x12’ feet, they are monumental.

I saw several Gursky's - so to call them - on a trip to Munich, they were really impressive. In fact, they are impressive when seen in a book, looking at the actual print left me speechless. Same goes for Jeff Wall's lightboxes!

Jeffery Walls has a really interesting portfolio. Is he the one you were talking about?

[Don Schaeffer]

These are really great--great in that they tell a visual story. You are right. This is a great photographer.

[alessya]

I believe we are not talking about the same photographer. Here's MOMA's collection: http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.ph...st_id=7826

Thanks for clearing it out. It seems like nowadays you can google almost any name and find a great photographer.

[alessya]

Well, I don't know if thatțs the case in any situation, but here you just didn't get the name right. Oh, and you should see this: http://artblart.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/wall-c2.jpg - these are lightboxes I told you about. I believe it's quite a different way to show images, that's why I like it so much!

It sort of looks like a street panel . But it does make the pictures livelier.

[alessya]

Yes, that's correct, it made to look like a street panel. You should see one with your own eyes, it's really big and it actually makes you feel you're inside a movie still yourself
