With so much good content coming from Magnum, sometimes it’s easy to miss the gems. This essay by Patrick Zachmann echoes the vibe from ‘In the Mood for Love‘ which for me is certainly a good thing. Enjoy.

“I can’t understand why no one seems to talk about this guy.” - James Hendrick
One of the major curses of photography on the web is image fatigue. There’s simply so much content out there that it eventually all starts to look the same, even the good stuff. So, it’s no wonder that a guy like Harry Gruyaert wouldn’t receive much attention, especially given the big names in Magnum that overshadow him. But of all the work that’s come across my path recently, Rivages has struck the loudest chord and lingered with me long after I finished clicking through the gallery.
The work is subtle, and might not impact people who prefer a more direct approach. But the mood, and the precision of the compositions create a tension in the photographs that’s hypnotic. And this is only from viewing the images on the web. As soon as the economic free-fall ends (2018?), this will be the first book I add to my collection.
