It came as a real shock as I caught up with my reading online today to learn of the death of Daniel Tamagni<\/a>, someone I still thought of as a young photographer, born in Milan in 1975 and only 42 when he died last month, and who I first heard of and met in 2007 , the year when he won the Canon Young Photographer Award<\/em> for his series on ‘The Gentlemen of Bacongo<\/em>‘, African dandies or ‘Sapeurs<\/em>‘<\/p>\n

I met him first at around that time at a show he had with two others in Peckham, writing about it for this web site, Peckham Rising<\/a>, where he showed me a newspaper article on his work on Black Churches in the area, one image from which was in the show, and I was sorry to have missed the earlier show he had of that work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I wrote about him again when his work on the ‘Sapeurs’ was on show at the Michael Hoppen Gallery<\/em> and my piece\u00a0Sapology<\/a> included the picture of him with\u00a0Araminta De Clermont<\/a>, whose pictures were also showing in the gallery. The work had by then gained him the 2010\u00a0ICP award for Applied Fashion<\/em> photography, and had been published by Trolley Books (Gentlemen of Bacongo<\/a>, 2009, ISBN: 978-1-904563-83-9.)\u00a0 As well as writing a little about the Sapeurs and Tamagni’s pictures of them I was also pleased to be able to photograph one of them in person at the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used that picture again when I wrote another piece,\u00a0Encore Sapeurs<\/a>, following on from a post by\u00a0 Joerg Colberg <\/em>on his\u00a0on Conscientious\u00a0blog which linked to some of Tamagni’s work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My last meeting with Daniele was at the opening of\u00a0\u2018Global Style Battles<\/em>\u2018 at the\u00a0 ArtEco Gallery<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in Wandsworth (now the Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery), an enjoyable occasion graced by the presence of a number of leading photographers who live in London, including James Barnor (with him above) born in Ghana and\u00a0Charlie Phillips, born in Jamaica (below).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was a memorable night and you can read about it and see a few more pictures at Daniele Tamagni at ArtEco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can read a brief obituary of him, as I did, on PDN Pulse<\/a>, and, in Italian, in Corriere della Sera<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
