After a few nudges from friends, and by sheer coincidence I ended up at Gallery 32 to have a look at the photographs of Sebastião Salgado, who took on the project with Illy.
All the photos of origin are in black and white, which was interesting. He used a really high ISO and then used the grain to almost age the photographs. What was strange to me was the absence of colour – especially with so many photos of cherries and picking.
I had expected more photos than I found – many of those on the website are not at the gallery, but it is free and if you are lucky they will offer you an espresso from their new pod system. I declined the drink, but did take a capsule home to have a little look at.
