Synopsis

In Love With Photography is a unique treasure in the history of photography, lifted from the archives of Volker Hinz, one of the most important and indefatigable photographers of our time. A treasure, amassed in almost 50 years by a passionate collector of portraits and presented here for the first time. Volker Hinz photographed those who normally remain hidden behind their cameras. Whenever and wherever he encountered them: at work, at home, in public or private moments. This is how a unique collection of the most renowned photographers of the second half of the 20th and the early 21st centuries came about. He got everybody in front of his camera: from Muhammad Ali to Richard Avedon, from Jeff Koons to Karl Lagerfeld, from Annie Leibowitz to Robert Mapplethorpe, from Helmut Newton to Irving Penn, from Sebastiao Salgado to Andy Warhol - the list is endless.

About this title

Review:

'Collective memory had Volker Hinz labelled as the photographer of Stern magazine. And then he published In Love With Photography (Edition Lammerhuber, 2015), an awesome volume, a colossus weighing in at 4.5 kilogrammes, with 371 photographs, mainly portraits of colleagues that he admired, from Annie Leibowitz and Lee Miller to Helmut Newton, Ruth Bernard and Peter Lindbergh to Joel-Peter Witkin. Gathered over the last 40 years, these pictures bring out the other side of the photojournalist: Hinz the artist, ardent fan of the greats.' --VICE, Mathis Vogel, 2.12. 2015

'Stars, politicians, photographers, fashion designers: Volker Hinz has photographed them for 50 years. Many of his pictures, such as that of Beckenbauer and Pelé naked in the shower, have even become famous. A massive coffee-table book weighing four kilogrammes offers a glimpse into his huge archive.' --n-tv, Andrea Beu, 13.12.2015

Photographer Volker Hinz gathers the Who s Who of photography for the past 50 years in his volume In Love with Photography.' --Gala 22.10.2015
