Mario Giacomelli

inspiration,other artists | June 11th, 2007

To continue the theme of the last post on Koudelka’s fierce prints I wanted to put Mario Giacomelli’s work on here too. His photographs are something else being full of life from frame edge to frame edge, and again, as I just mentioned, the style of his printing really contributes to his overall vision. In his book there is much of his latter work that I was unable to find online, but it is worth digging up - it’s like Meatyard and Ballen put in a bowl and stirred with much spice and brooding.

To put it simple, it’s just really exceptionally creative work that I’d think would make most any photographer jealous.
