Sobre o livro
In this series of portraits the sitters turn their backs to the camera, disrupting the normal process of identification. I wanted to create a different dynamic between viewer and sitter. I would like the viewer to "look less at someone" and "be more with someone"; spend more time in discovering what is in the picture and speculate about the portrayed person. Although my sitters share certain aspects of their life, they guard their privacy at the same time.

Sobre o autor
Axel Hesslenberg
Eastbourne, East Sussex, UK
After 30 years in the corporate world I followed my heart and studied photography in Brighton. My interest is in capturing traces of life and time. Through my lens I create work, which expresses my delight in seeing. I am a ‘joyous sensualist’ in the sense Walker Evans talked about photographers.
