"Photography is never objective.”
~ Gianni Berengo Gardin
I think many great photographers will admit to this. They may seem on the surface to be objective and especially where social documentary and factual imagery is concerned but in many instances their photographs are a clear reflection of themselves, of who they really are. It seems to be so true of many of the great Italian photographers perhaps more so than any other nationality. Gianni is deeply rooted to his unique culture and its traditions but also to the power of its landscape as is evidenced here in this beautiful, textured image of the Tuscan countryside that means so much to him.
