Hardcover, 28.00 x 35.00 cm , 224 pages
Not just a facade: What makes a picture an icon?
Rihanna, John Turturro, Angela Merkel, Martin Kippenberger, Mario Draghi , and even Miss Piggy share two things in common: They are world-famous, and they have been in front of Anatol Kotte 's camera. His unique portrait photographs are known from Time Magazine, Die Zeit, Stern, and L'Uomo Vogue.
But what makes Kotte's photographs special? At first glance, they are cool and distant, at second glance, emotional and dramatic. Through them, the subjects are given the pleasure of discovering a completely different side of themselves. Kotte approaches them with an open mind, seeking that special perspective, the unexpected pose, or setting – preferably in black and white, always moving. Mixed in with the portraits are surprising views of cities and landscapes. The world and its people become icons, and we can look at them in a whole new way.
