lista fotografi

Premessa
Questa � una lista di fotografi che negli anni ho apprezzato. Ognuno di questi ha
realizzato foto che sono rimaste nella storia delle "immagini" come � assodato per
pittori, scultori e altri artisti "famosi".
Vederle ogni tanto, copiando su google image il nome, servir� ad assimilare
concetti che vanno oltre le parole.
La lezione da apprendere non � solo estetica, ma anche che:
- attraverso un mezzo non si racconta la realt� oggettiva ma si racconta e basta
- ognuna di queste foto non � una "istantanea", ma una precisa messa in posa tesa a
scatenare nello spettatore una emozione.
- la tecnica � fondamentale al raggiungimento dell'obbiettivo.
