Soft and ethereal, Alan Blaustein’s photos of Europe are an atmospheric dreamscape of gardens, villas, parks and cafes. Based in the San Francisco Bay area, Blaustein was originally a commercial photographer, and has now been creating his Impressionist images of Europe for 12 years. Blaustein shoots in black and white during sunset, sunrise and overcast weather, revealing the detail of stonework and textures in ethereally highlighted and shadowed tones. Evocative of an earlier time, Blaustein’s lyrical work has been featured in calendars, a book-in-progress, and has won numerous awards.
