PHOTO:Flirt in the Black & White Landscape

Flirting in and with black & white landscape in different seasons and visual glances coincides through the lens of great photographers in history, sometimes documentary, sometimes surreal, sometimes under the real and the sometimes the imaginary… From Alexander Rodchenko and Many Ray, Nelly’s and Lee Miller, to Garry Winogrand, Bruce Weber, Helmut Newton, but also younger ones as Robert Mapplethorpe and Mario Testino. All flirted and flirt with nature, the water, the sea and the urban landscape, using the human figure naked or dressed…. Using as main protagonist the implication … not the innuendo… but it can occur as a thought, idea and perception.
