gabriele basilico

Gabriele Basilico is one of today's best known documentary photographers in Europe. Cities and industrial landscapes are his fields of investigation.
Trained as an architect, he takes photographs of pieces of architecture and works for publishers, industrial concerns, public and private institutions. Much of his work focuses on main towns and huge black and white city scapes but what interests me more is the more local and smaller villages and towns he photographed classed as his 'vintage works.'
His photos are high contrast  black and white images, high in detailing. With focus on lines and structure, he seems to be able to have the right eye to turn a normal structure into something so unusal. I get the feeling of almost a film noir style about some of his 'vintage' collection. theyre just very well structured images.  It reminds me kinda of the work of Bill Brandt.
