New Color Work from Robert Vizzini

Robert Vizzini is a New York-based graphic designer whom I’ve known for more than a decade. He’s also a very talented photographer who has just launched a website (see it here). Bob is one of those inspiring stories in photography—he has worked and worked at it, taking classes, attending workshops, stretching himself technically and artistically. In the late 1990s he figured out a way to make beautiful black-and-white images in very low-light settings. His latest work, which is color, is also often made at night. This image is from a series he did at Coney Island. I’ve seen way too many Coney Island pictures over the years. This one I love.

[Robert]

Although all his photo depictions (whether color or B&W) are remarkable, Bob Vizzini’s true artistry (and original vision) is most prominent in his nocturnal prints. By using unique and various time-exposures, as well as impulsive paper and chemical combinations, Bob accentuates his subjects in a most exceptional manner, singularizing each expression and therefore allowing them to stand out in only Bob’s particular way, which (at least for me) can only be described as: “Bewitching.”

Obviously, along with a naturally instinctive photographic eye, it is mainly his individual darkroom technical talent that contributes to and ultimately completes Bob’s true vision as an artist.
