Although I appreciate over-the-top photography any day, I feel that if I had delved into this art form head first, I would have wanted to produce work similar to Norwegian artist Ole Brodersen. Gritty, real and beautifully composed, these black and white shots appeal to the romantic in me.
Inspiring me to go out and purchase a Leica M6 immediately, Ole Brodersen's mastery of that particular camera speaks to another era. While looking at his portfolio, I almost feel as if it is a shame digital was ever introduced into the photography industry and then I shake myself out of that silly thought!
