Photographer David Hicks is a talented creative with an eye for the exciting as well as the mundane. He is fascinated by people and places and can find inspiration in almost any corner of the world.
His collection of pictures, for example, taken on the streets of Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires captures the drama and passion of tango music and dance.
Hicks talks of the collection: “The Tango, a now-popular dance between a man and a woman, started in its current form in the mid-1800s, after a massive migration to Argentina, mostly by men. Because men outnumbered women by quite some number, the only way for a man to get close to a woman was via a brothel or by dance. The men practiced together, as you’d have to be a great dancer to get a woman’s attention. So, this very sexual dance you see now was born out of the reality for men in those old days. Nowadays, you see it performed often, usually on the street corners of Buenos Aires, with live musicians or a pre-recorded soundtrack, and they do it for the tips!”
So, if you’re one for enjoying the beauty of everyday life captured effortlessly on camera, be sure to check out Hicks’ work.
