Antibe Photograph

Silvia Lareo-Vázquez / Cuban-American photographer. "Graced with an Irving Penn-like flair for capturing elegance and ease, this collection of boldly composed black and white photographs by Silvia Lareo-Vazquez is transportive. It takes viewers on vacation. Lareo-Vazquez focuses closely on people, frequently gazing over their shoulders as they relax at the beach or at poolside or as they engage in other activities such as viewing a new haircut or idly watching a game of bocce. The sense of calm evoked in these photographs provides a welcome respite from the endless hurry of our daily lives."
