Peter Gasser is a Swiss photographer whose skills are boundless. His series of photographs of members of African Tribes are stunning. Gasser has a way of exhibiting exquisite details in his images, giving them a distinctive lifelike quality. This ablilty allows for emotion to be displayed though expression very easily, though the comprehensiveness of what is shown can be quite complicated. I enjoy that complex realization in his work, seeing an image and having an emotional connection and then realizing the that you have no personal associations with the person in the image. When one can see a photograph that can evoke this type of response, it is a masterful piece.
