The coffee-table book London Vertical is a delight both for lovers
of the British capital and for fans of Hamann's work. Whether Big
Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye or The Shard, Hamann presents all
these sights, which have already been photographed thousands of
times, in his own creative way and thus creates something
completely new. It is fun to pick up this illustrated book again
and again, because the unusual approach to the motifs is
interesting for the eye and brings new details to the fore. The
passionate photo artist was born in Mannheim in 1958 and discovered
the camera for himself at the age of 11. Having grown up on two
continents, Europe and America, he began an intensive artistic
exploration of the extreme format of panorama photography in 1985.
But it was not until 1991 that what Hamann's followers adore about
him today happened: He turned his camera to portrait format for the
first time at the intersection of 41st Street and Avenue of the
Americas and has since been called the "inventor" of vertical
photography among insiders. His photographs not only testify to his
great skill and compositional talent, Hamann manages in a unique
way to stage well-known motifs in a completely new way. As a
reader, you look at his pictures with curiosity and look forward
anew to recognising the sights in each photo. Text in English and
German.
