Black and White Photographs

Artists Describing Their Art:

Laurent Ziegler - My work is about capturing moments that move and shift boundaries, a search for corners and spaces inside the process of work. The connecting point in my ambitions and dreams, not just as a photographer but foremost as a human being, is the desire to communicate stories, discover tales that seem hidden from the spectator and yet remain open to the inquisitive eye. Looking back, my life has taken some different directions and occasionally it felt random and without orientation.

Patrick Gonzales - The World Patrick Gonzales, which transports us into a world worthy of the little prince or Spirited Away: a desert, flowers, bubbles, water and birds black and white is grey and white or blue and white.
