Josef Koudelka

The aspect of Josef Koudelkas work a appreciate is, unlike any other photographer of his genre, the play of shadow and light becomes a major component in his photography. Although Koudelka doesn’t stage his images, he still manages to produce photographs with an almost architectural discipline and understanding of how simple shadows can frame and contribute to the overall effectiveness of an image.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the best examples of his work online, but if anyone’s genuinely interested in his work, I have one of his books ‘Exiles’ which is just beautiful.
