Last week we went to Girona to see a guide tour of some photos of the famous photographer Sebastião Salgado. This collection is called Genesis because all the images are from some of the most remote parts of the world which its landscapes are untouched by humans. These photos are taken in black and white because he thinks that, if he do it without colors, our eyes will be focused on the content, which is the part most important of the image and because if the photo wouldn't be white and black there will be details that we won't detect or perceive such as, in this case, the drops of water that are falling out of the whale's tail or the light on its skin.
Its tail is in the foreground, and we can see the grey mountains behind it, in the background. This photo was taken in a eye level shot.
When I saw this photo for the first time it was very striking and spontaneous because the photographer was in the foreground, just in front of the whale, touching his boat or ship! Kind of dangerous too!
If I were him, I won't never take this photo! He was also so brave!
