The men. The images show a high contrast look that's not at all natural looking to my eye. It works on some photos, can even enhance and strengthen them, but the technique as used in this book, from what I could see in the teaser, comes across as heavy handed and overdone. People don't glow and shine quite so much in reality.
As a PS, I just found out that James Nachtwey was at Berkeley in early May. I never heard or saw a word about it, and am distressed that I missed seeing him and hearing him talk. It was, it seems, a night very much like the one's with Salgado. http://tinyurl.com/ebgmz Shel > [Original Message] > From: Bob W > What do you mean by hyper-realism?
