Brilliant, dark street photos

Thanks for sharing this . He has some really excellent photographs..especially Venice in the winter fog . His collections have a few too many shots following people at a distance and could benefit from some work on editing as a group . Taken as individual photographs ...some of these are brilliant ! He has real talent . :watch:

Very inspiring work and as pointed out he's both talented with a very keen eye in the way he captures both subject and mood of the moment of capture.

Well, others have done the same, very successfully....:salute:...
On re-reading my own post, it does have a flavour of criticism of Ando Fuchs´ work, even insinuating plagiarism. This was certainly not my intention; I´m quite impressed by it. He does work in a similar vein to, say, Callahan or Leiter, but with his own style and visual language.

I love this guys work, it's simply beautiful. What I find the most interesting is his body of work as a whole, he has a beautiful style, comes across as completely at ease with his process. When I look at these shot, there's no thought of shadow detail, noise, how big it will print, no 100% crops, there's no this is better than that, it's just the image and the feelings they provoke.

Inspirational for me personally as I can only dream of producing a body of work as cohesive and expressive as this.

Cheers

If I should compare him to anybody, it would be Fan Ho's Hong Kong street photos from the fifties, but Fan Ho had a more "modern" expression and wasn't nearly as "dark" as Ando Fuchs.
