Arno Rafael Minkkinen

Arno is a famous photographer, born and raised in Finland, who is currently living in the United States. He is best known for his black and white photographs containing the juxtapose bodies, alongside landscapes. His work can be seen in more than 50 art museums all over the world. His photographs inspire me with Project one, not only because he shoots in black and white, but also because he takes unique portraits. He photographs the human body in obscure positions, taking an innovative approach at capturing his models. He often places them in naturalistic landscapes, usually around water. Here are two of my favorite pieces.
