“I would like to state confidently: Fine art photography is alive! It is kept alive albeit by a relatively small group of genuine artists, who can be found outside popular top rankings, and who defy the shallowness of the concept of art.”
“ This book is an attempt at bringing together a selection of photographers who continue the work of the early innovators in artistic photography by demonstrating great creativity in their application of photographic means”
Ulrich Goette Himmelblau – Publisher.
Second place winner in the “The Consequence of Light 2006 Winners' Exhibition” photographic awards by the Artrom Gallery, Rome, Italy
The ARTROM Gallery Consequence of Light 2006 On-line Exhibition
is the result of an on-line juried Competition in which artists from twenty different countries have participated.
Photography is changing and changing fast, but the power of the black and white or monochrome photograph to transmit and express emotion remains. Today we live in a full-color world, but black and white (and monochrome) is back because it's beautiful, and feels real. Dedicated purists have never left it, and lately artists and designers are returning and rediscovering it. This International Competition is dedicated to showing the continuing validity of this mode of revealing what the artists sees from behind the lens, translated into lights and darks. We thank renowned Italian photographer Andrea Bastogi who viewed all works and chose the Award Winners.
