This #Ravens by Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase is one of the best works in the history of #photography. A poetic self-portrait, a great dark and gloomy metaphor of the existential anguish that devastated #Fukase after his second wife left him. Fukase, an obsessive and brilliant photographer, dedicated 10 years of his life to photographing crows as a way of expressing his existential anguish and his enormous emotional suffering. 'Ravens' was first published in 1986 and in 2010 it was chosen as the best #photobook of the last 25 years. An essential book to understand photographic poetics and how to portray ourselves, how to tell who we are and how we feel, without putting ourselves in front of the camera.
