Hans-Christian Schink



Another proponent of the black sun (see Chris McCaw, Harlan Erskine, Ansel Adams). But presumably an originator, and winner of the inaugural REAL photo award, some more information on Mrs Deane and read in the BJP last week. The photography is stunning, I love the role of the light in exaggerating the graphic of the composition. It is so difficult to avoid covering the same ground as other people- something that used to torment me as a mannered art undergraduate. As I get older I begin to think does it matter. Each of the contemporary photographers who I'm aware of has used this motif in a visually and conceptually different way: each has been successful.
