Ernesto Timor (Trompe-la-mort : photos & fantasies)






"I've been living quite a long time in a kind of photo booth. There was no room for modesty in there! What did we expect from those quick poses? Maybe that my pretty visitors would lay bare rather than plainly nude. Rediscovering those badly fixed prints today, I smell in them acid ingenuousness which nearly makes me fall in love again!"

From "Small Studio Days"

Photographer Ernesto Timor's web site Trompe-la-mort (which roughly translated I believe means "Trick Death" or "Fool Death") is full of beautiful photographs with some very interesting writing accompanying each series. Be sure to click "Site Map" to see the list of all the galleries. I counted 38 of them and they all contain photos that are worth your time to look at.
