{"product_id":"9783775762724","title":"Christian Hartmann. Actors","description":"At a time when digital filters and quick selfies dominate visual culture, photographer Christian Hartmann sets a deliberate counterpoint. His new photo book is dedicated to actor portraits – but he is not interested in staged poses, but in the person behind the mask. Hartmann's eye is trained by classical fashion photography and years of apprenticeship in New York with icons such as Annie Leibovitz. He now uses this profound knowledge of light and composition not for fashion campaigns, but to psychologically illuminate characters. His working method is puristic and analog: without technical distractions on set, he creates a space of trust that enables a genuine encounter. The resulting photographs impress with their quiet dignity and timelessness. They document that rare moment when personality becomes visible – characterized by a balance of empathetic closeness and respectful distance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Hartmann (born 1956) learned his craft in Munich and as an assistant in New York, including with Sante D'Orazio and Michel Comte. After a career as an advertising and fashion photographer, he has focused almost exclusively on portraits since 2004. His focus is on collaborating with actors, whose personalities he captures in timeless aesthetics. He lives in Munich.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53135863054600,"sku":"9783775762724","price":40.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775762724.jpg?v=1772610745","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/9783775762724","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
