Pam,
That sounds like Mario Giacomelli, who died Nov 2000. I went to the
opening of a show of his work here in London last month - at Photofusion.
All of his pictures were taken in a pretty small area of southern Italy
where he lived. Most of them are about people rather than the landscape.
Giacomelli worked entirely in black and white so far as I know, and the
landscape images are rather high contrast. There are other photographers
who have done similar things in colour.
For me the landscapes are less interesting than most of his other work,
some of which is really magical, and reminds me more of some paintings -
perhaps Chagall - than photography. I think he was pretty creative in the
darkroom with some of the work.
