See in Mono

Since coming back to Facebook a couple of years ago, I have followed See in Mono – this is a page dedicated to monochromatic (B&W !) images and there are sometimes some stunning examples of the art of photography.

One recent image which made me sit up and look is this one, by Dean Nixon.

The photographer suggests that this is an « interpretation connected with concepts of birth, death, rebirth, as well as the mythology of Aphrodite and the sea ». I’m not sure I would have got all of that on my own, but the general balance and strength of the image, the power station, the nude, the moving clouds, all combine to make an image I appreciate a lot. (And gets me thinking of future projects…)
