Gabriele Basilico

Gabriele Basilico is a Italian photographer and was born in 1944. He studied architecture in Milan. He photographs mainly cities and industrial landscapes.
In a majority of his photos, Basilico positions himself high above his landscapes. His photos are crisp, with a high contrast that holds onto your focus.
In Napoli Vesuvio, the above photo, there is a heavy contrast between the sharp crowded city, and the fuzzy mountain and sky. What I assume is a long, white building, captures my attention and move my focus from the bottom of the photo to the top of the photo.
