Keld Helmer-Petersen was a Danish photographer who was inspired and influenced by Albert Renger-Patzsch, the experiments at The Bauhaus in Germany and by Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at the Art Institute of Chicago. Helmer Petersen achieved fame for his coloured photography but he also published several books of black and white images that consist of dramatic contrasts. All mid tones have been removed in his black and white images. He created these images using both cameras and flat bed scanners to achieve the effect of pure black and white photos.
