I can't quite grasp the chemistry, if any, between these two models. Although he was older and more experienced at photography, von Pluschow's work was eclipsed by that of his cousin Wilhelm von Gloeden. Many critics have opined that the elder photographer's posing was stilted and his lighting not always effective. Both of them had problems with the legal authorities.

They have such similar facial features, perhaps they are related....
ReplyDeleteInteresting observation! You may be on to something.
DeleteThe one on the right is Vincenzo Galdi, Plüschow's model, protege, possible lover, and later a photographer of young men himself.
