“Life in pink smoke, life in pink smoke, why did you choose, I don’t understand …” But the hero of our story is an American photographer Eddie O'Bryan - chose not life in pink smoke, and not even multi-colored, but black-and-white life. Black and white photographs of people, portraits, amazingly beautiful monochrome landscapes - this is not a complete list of O'Brian's interests. The artichoke is also photogenic, says the photographer.
The person who depicts life in black and white in photographs does not like to put his modest person on display. Therefore, we only know about Eddie O'Brian that he lives and works in New york … The photographer wished to leave all other information about himself in the shadow of his photographs, on the other side of the lens. But Eddie willingly shares his work.
Only the image in black and white light is perceived most objectively. And everyone will perceive color photography in their own way, depending on how they see this or that color and shade. Perhaps for this reason, Eddie O'Brian also loves black and white photography.
Every black and white photographer has their own preferences. Someone is attracted by a dog's life, someone else loves to take pictures of ordinary people who accidentally fall into the lens of their camera. Eddie O'Brian is multifaceted, but most of all he gravitates towards grandiose portraits of women and unusual photographs of flowers or vegetables.
Eddie O'Brian's style is recognizable: his black and white photographs of people are elegant, and his monochrome technique can only surprise with its perfection. There is nothing artificially constructed in the composition of his photographs. There is not a single superfluous detail, but how strong an impression they make!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to capture all the pieces from the mosaic of Eddie O'Brian's black and white life. Each of his photographs is a masterpiece. Particularly impressive are the pictures taken in the open air, where it is impossible to adjust the light as you wish, but you need to capture the moment. Which Eddie does a great job. The light that appears through the darkness and fog is generally the main character of his photographs.
