Τέτοιες σκηνές θα ζωγράφιζαν σήμερα οι μεγάλοι δάσκαλοι. Εννοώ, οι σκηνές που βλέπουμε στους μεγάλους πίνακες, συμβαίνουν και σήμερα.
(Φωτογραφία David Titlow... Thx Σταύρο)
This year I think the jurors got it right. The winner of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2014 goes to David Titlow for his picture of his baby son. Shot on the morning after a midsummer party in Sweden, little Konrad was introduced to a young dog and some assembled friends, while held (I presume) by his adoring mother. Despite the clutter of empty beer cans, it captures a beautiful moment, brought into sharp focus by the dappled light and the fixed attention of the group within this Pre-Raphaelite scene. For some, it might be a bit of a stretch to call it a portrait. But I can't agree. Without being at all mawkish or overly sentimental (not easy when you're photographing a mother and child), the feelings of love and joy and pride are clearly translated in the photograph.
