Carsten Bockermann is a German photographer who specializes in photographing everyday life in different cultures around the world using a combination of direct reportage and visually interpretative style. He favors strong saturated colors in his photographs, and he seems to relish shadows and silhouettes.
I've chosen his portfolio of images from Mexico for this post, but he has equally strong galleries for Cuba, India and Mauritius to name but a few.
I particularly like this image of the shadow of the Mexican man against the super saturated red and textured white wall. Super vivid colors appear to Carsten's hallmark...and these juxtaposed with such a dark shadow is what makes this photograph just 'pop'. I don't know if Carsten meant it, but I see the Mexican flag in this photograph...maybe it's only me.
An excellent photographer, Carsten's Mexican gallery is found here.
