There are many ways to show reality since it's not alway bright and coloured and artists know much about this. When it comes about photographs things get very interesting as they have to capture that secret and inner message that keeps hidden in the elements that are portrayed. Looking at a picture we realize about a reality which sometimes it's not the one that we could assume in advance, there many details that tell us a lot about a story and that play a symbolic rol. Of course, we have to pay attention and be opened minded enough to go beyond a simple element.
It's amazing, for example, how just a leaf can tell us about a hard season allowing us to imagine all that exists around it, a dense forest, a gray and empty city, a failed romance, a path which no one treads, or whatever your imagination and emotions let you go. There is the magic of such photographs, those that with a couple of simple elements make us travel to ourselves, our experience and imagination. There is clearly seen the good eye of a good photographer.
As an example of this kind of modern photography, I want to show you this wonderful works by Lynne Guimond Sabean that Janusian Gallery kindly let me use for this post.
