The most recent edition of Square Magazine has just arrived in my (PDF) mail box. I’m in two minds about the author/owner Christophe DILLINGER (which, of course, has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that he ‘forgot’ my submission last year…)
Fortunately this edition, 804, is a real pearl – and it’s enabled me to discover the work of arnò.
Black & White, high contrast – everything I love but can’t ever seem to manage myself. The square format gives his work a dynamic that I really envy. The format creates a perfect frame for these powerful images. There is something very special (in my mind) with the square format – it gives importance, a feeling of immediacy that is often lacking in other formats. These images are MADE for this, and the exquisite composition makes me think of Koudelka.
I can’t show everything here, but this is a glimpse of his work, and I strongly suggest visiting his site for more.
