This afternoon has passed in an absolute awe of the genius of Guy Tillim. The South African is studying the social: the inequality, the daily, the material, landscapes, environments etc, mostly set in Africa. In his photos the aesthetics enhance the narration. I'm not sure I've seen anything up to this moment that would master this to the extent present in this photographs. While the shots offer visual pleasure, my main sensation is a wish to go beyond the picture, stand before the stories and listen.
More photos by Guy Tillim here http://www.agencevu.com/photographers/photographer.php?id=137 and here http://www.lensculture.com/tillim.html?thisPic=8
The difference becomes especially clear to me when looking at Juha-Pekka Kervinen's photos, who undoubtedly is also good at taking pictures http://www.pbase.com/kervinen/portfolio
