A unique gallery with tons of new photos of the marvelous Madagascar: Black and White, purity and large format pictures taken by the talented Joel Vogt.
Images from Tananarive, the sleeping wonder that lies under the hills mixed with an authentic architecture proper to the Island. Songs coming up from the Lokaro’s Bay and its fishermen. Promises of beauty that Joel Vogt wanted to show us on this gallery.
We can see on the photos the Fort Dauphin’s workers, children and few women at the laundry, but also canoes floating on the Vinanibe Lake. Somewhere else in Sainte-Marie Island, pictures of the pirates cemetery, waterfalls, and Malagasies women hiding from the sun under coconut trees.
It is almost a composition masterwork, Ravenala the birds on the traveler’s tree. It is definitely an incredible landscape of lush nature on its very perfection. The Red Island is large and houses magnificent beauties, spirits and cocktails!
Madagascar's beauty is truly natural; it will drive you to other dimensions. Rare and exotic plants on the images try to get your attention. This gallery wants you to understand the origin of black and white photography, uncompromising and pure, elegant and deeply attached to lights and shadows.
Antananarivo is a dream for all photographers; it shows her bright face and let you discover her in large format pictures. There are the fishermen on the Lokaro’s Bay reviving memories of a prosperous past buried by light and time. There is Fort Dauphin lying on photos, writing the history of the city and drawing the perfection of the moment.
The photographer stays behind his canvas; he tries to freeze the fog, he starts doing his magic: Joel Vogt seeks excitement and finds it at the edge of the water… Children and sand, children and brick, they bring the photographer to a deep understanding of himself; this interferes with his styles and appears in his every shot. Stones make landscapes, minerals freezes time, then it nourishes us simple humans.
Madagascar is an island of light nested in the middle of a generous sea. Hills and men tell each the majesty of Antananarivo. This city is unique by its narrow architecture, and streets. We can tell from the pictures that Joel Vogt has a genuine affection for this country. He produced a masterpiece and received deep feelings and gratitude. Madagascar vibrates at the beat of her citizens’ hearts; those people give us the outline of goodness and beauty. This is a powerful mixture that summarizes once again the talent of this artist. Joel Vogt, Black and White forever.
