Marco Tenaglia - Strong Women

Strong women are the main theme of Marco Tenaglia's work. In this selection "Women in control" Tenaglia pulls out the aggressive side of his women. "They act in a rude way, unmasking their feminine-masculine attitude to be in control of every situation."

Italian photographer Marco Tenaglia is known for his unconventional black and white fashion portraiture. His bold and intriguing photographic vision is the result of a mixture of both contemporary and classic styles.
Tenaglia’s women aren’t classical expression of beauty. Often photographed in recurring poses, placed in luxury or decadent settings, they show a strong personality and a sort of cold sensuality. His photographs are balancing on this fine and sometimes tricky line between fashion-beauty-glamour and erotic-sexy-trashy, resulting in elegant and sophisticated black and white photography with a timeless quality and the perfection of imperfection.
