From editor of michelle7 |
| The
nudes here from Manolis Tsantakis are absolutely spellbinding. All are shot
outdoors in the majestic and breathtaking scenery that is Greece. The rugged
splendor of the terrain stands in stark contrast to the soft and beautiful
and utterly feminine subjects of this book. And it's this eerie juxtaposition
that gives this work its power. The female subjects as well as the scenery
are quite beautiful, but difficult it may be to believe, there is a feeling
of isolation and despondency here. It's not a negative quality at all, but
is instead a melodious sense of melancholy. It's enchanting ... and that's
just what we have here - and magical collection of imagery from an artist
operating at the height of his power. Hopefully the world will take notice. |

Manolis
Tsantakis and Stavros Stavropoulos, photographer and writer respectively,
are two companions in a photographic album of poetic emergence - and vice-versa.
This work is a pictorial fusion of coloured words and black and white
grains, 24 poems of an erotic essence entangled together with 72 nude
portraits of women, with the sea of Crete as a background; the result
is a melancholy adventure of the gaze into the inmost recesses of the
female universe.
