josef hoflehner's black and white world

josef hoflehner's photography leaves me breathless. entirely black and white, it captures the grey scale in all its glory with soft, muted edges, delicate shadows, and a clear sense of beauty. natural and manmade subject matter are treated with equal care and reverence. fog and mist abounds.

these are a few of my favourites.

biwako sticks, japan.

pensacola beach, florida.

unplugged. iceland.

unleashed in the east.

dauphin beach fence. alabama.

my favourite works are contained in his shorelines portfolio and in his snowscapes portfolio. however, his work spans the globe and you might like to wander through the hundreds of incredible images he has assembled.

here are josef's portfolios. if you'd like to read and see what he's up to then you really should nip over to his blog.

to purchase his works then artnet has a dedicated page.

Every one of these pics is so evocative - thank you! Love the Robert Fripp quote. Everything in moderation, yes? Yes.

there's such presence in these photographs - they bare down on the idea of essence. moderation yes and care fullness. steven
