Alan Blaustein's black and white photographs of Europe are masterpieces of light and shade and textures and lines. His photos often have a haunting quality and evoke nostalgia (as well as admiration) for the architecture of the past.
Alan Blaustein is a commercial photographer in San Francisco, and he got his start and his success doing photo shoots for corporations and advertisers. However, in recent years, his personal work has come into its own -- for example, his black and white photograph Caffe, Asolo, Veneto and his sepia tone photo Courtyard in Venizia, both of which are available as fine art posters and prints.
