“How long have we had only white dreams, all other shades of snow have brought in. We were blinded for a long time from such whiteness, but we will see the light from a black strip of earth …”Illustrations to the song of V. Vysotsky "White silence" the eponymous series of works by a talented photographer from the Greek city of Patras can serve Vassilis Tangoulis.
You can understand what ringing silence is by looking at the works of Vassilis Tangulis. Winter rural landscapes feel cold, but at the same time they are filled with a special calmness and silence. To capture the snowy sea, the photographer uses ND filters, which generally absorb light. Images are three-dimensional and dazzling white.
An untouched blanket of snow catches the eye, not a single trace can be discerned on it. Only dark islands of trees indicate where the horizon line is, and the earth merges with the sky.
The photographer gives the viewer the opportunity to reflect in silence, to feel one-on-one with nature, to be in enchanting harmony with the surrounding world. Critics tend to compare Vassilis Tangulis's "White Silence" photo cycle with time travel, where the present is fleeting and is just a thin line between the endless past and the future.
It is noteworthy that the passion for photography is not the main occupation for Vassilis Tangulis. He manages to combine his favorite hobby with teaching physics at the university, so this is the classic case when we are faced with a physicist with a soul of lyricism.

"Master of Silence" Guram Dolenjashvili. Stunning black and white graphics
