Chiaroscuro

Posted on Tue, 5 Feb 2008 by midcenturyjo


Husband and wife photographers Gentl & Hyers have a way with light that takes me back to the works of the Old Masters. Chiaroscuro, light and shade, positive and negative. The air is thick in their photos like treacle and colours have a tangible presence. It’s like the photos are caught in amber or that the white light is thick like milk. Beautiful portfolio. Their black and white work is a must see.
