In Love with Photography

“Weighing more than four kilograms, this treasure-trove spans almost five decades of work… it has all the hallmarks of a collector’s item.” LFI Leica Photography International “The photographers’ photographer. Candida Höfer, Richard Avedon, Karl Lagerfeld and Andy Warhol are just some of the great camera artists portrayed and staged by Hinz in the pictures of this sumptuous volume.”Vogue “It is his declaration of love for photography and a must for all lovers and collectors of photography.”Viva In Love With Photography is a unique treasure in the history of photography, lifted from the archives of Volker Hinz, one of the most important and indefatigable photographers of our time. A treasure, amassed in almost 50 years by a passionate collector of portraits and presented here for the first time. Volker Hinz photographed those who normally remain hidden behind their cameras. Whenever and wherever he encountered them: at work, at home, in public or private moments. This is how a unique collection of the most renowned photographers of the second half of the 20th and the early 21st centuries came about.
