Synopsis
Among contemporary European art photographers, William Ropp has emerged as one of the most innovative. His strangely beautiful and surreal black-and-white portraits and studies of the human form leave an indelible impression on the viewer. Ropp has produced numerous unforgettable portraits of both adults and children, as well as a large body of work featuring the nude. His richly toned photography of the human face and form reflects his explorations of the conscious and the unconscious, of identity and the self. As Jan Saudek writes in his foreword, ." . . [Ropp] is gifted with the ability to show things and express thoughts hidden, deep down in the darkest recesses of our souls."Many of his most affecting images were achieved with Ropp's unique technique of moving light and very long exposures, creating an otherworldly environment of fantastical and sometimes disturbing beauty. This monograph presents a chimeric, ethereal oeuvre -- a haunting vision of the human form -- at once unsettling and seductive.
