Dramatic Black and White Photos of Common Items

Chema Madoz has an eye for seeing what goes together and can transform a pair of ordinary items into something magical with his imagination and camera on hand. The Spanish still life photographer is best known for his black and white surrealist photographs of common items that take on a beautiful imagery when combined. In fact, the commonality of the items reveal the genius of his concept and the minimalist monochromatic colors adds a level of drama that cannot be ignored. For the perfect coffee table book, try Chema Madoz’s Poesia visual for a collection of his photographs.
