Oh look who we got here? Angelina Jolie, Paries Hilton, US President Barack Obama himself, actor icons like Jack Nicholson or Meryl Streep. But is that everything we see? Their names? Their reputation? Their profession? Or maybe Jay-Z e.g. is just simply an afro-american guy in his early 40ies with a wife and a kid. Living in NYC and happen to have a lucky hand for rap? Those incredible sincere portraits of famous people were taken by the german photographer Martin Schoeller. In comparison to Germany he's quite known in the States working for many magazines e.g. 'The New Yorker'. Though there was a lot of noise lately due to his new series where he portrayed female body builders at their high points of their career. Questioning the ideals of beauty. I really like his work because next to all the fashion, hyped and vintage stuff there are - thank god - still photographers out there who try to point out all the trivial (but more important) things in life out through their work. To remind us: no matter who, no matter where - we are all just humans.

Thuy, du postest wieder! :D
Die Fotos gefallen mir unheimlich gut! (Die Augenfarbe von einigen Prominenten ist der Wahnsinn!) Aber du hast recht; an solchen normalen Bildern sieht man, dass solche "Stars" genau wie wir sind. :)
Neee, lass ma stecken! :D :P
Das wollte ich dich auch noch fragen! seit wann schreibst du für/bei CPL? :D :P Ich erwart bei Facebook ne Antwort! :P
Ich sah die Ausstellung vor ungefähr einem halben Jahr im Kennedymuseum & war auch überaus beeindruckt, was für eine Natürlichkeit seine Portraits ausstrahlen.
Sehr bedauernswert, dass er in Deutschland noch relativ unbekannt ist.
Ich liebe seine Bilder. Was ich aber krass finde ist, wie verdammt verbraucht Paris Hilton aussieht.
heey, ich habe gerade deinen Blog entdeckt und bin total fasziniert von diesen Fotos! die sind der Wahnsinn:) wie anders die auf einmal aussehen, finde ich ;)
liebst, M.
