Inspirational Photographer of the Month:

Martin picked Tunesion-born photographer Skander Khlif. Skander is a documentary photographer who is based in Munich, Germany. He describes his work as “documenting life in public space by telling stories while retaining a note of mystery.” Martin is very impressed by Skanders work, whom he describes as a wanderer between worlds and cultures with a vast portfolio of extremely creative and well-composed images.

His information is based on the different photo books that he has published with different publishing houses in the past and covers the main steps from the photo book idea, selecting and contacting publishers, to the writing and photo selection process.




Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:
Martin’s pick: “Harry Gruyaert” Photographs by Harry Gruyaert.

Martin picked the photo book: “Harry Gruyaert” by Magnum photographer Harry Gruyaert.

From the publisher's description: “Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Harry Gruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of color in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined new territory for color photography: an emotive, non-narrative, and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world…

…Gruyaert’s images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematic logic. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses.” 

The book is published by Thames & Hudson and has 144 pages
