I read this morning in the U Bahn an interview with Magnum’s Thomas Hoepker, in a back number of Profi Foto. Hoepker is undoubtely one of the big names in documentary photgraphy and has produced a bunch of images that are already part of our collective memory. I had the chance to see him during […]
Charles Traub. He would become very renowned a few years later - and his color work is simply astonishing -, yet I love his b&w street snaps from the early 70’s in Chicago.

A short profile here and here (both in German). A book here. And more shots here.
We went yesterday to Photobild, a photographic exhibition organized by Photomarketing.
I did not really know what to expect before getting there but I somewhat imagined it’d be something small. It was certainly tiny but also accessible and ‘warmhearted’. No galleries, no agencies no big PR machines behind. Just the photographers in their spaces, presenting their […]
