Multifaceted (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780985932763)

The photos are multifaceted because they often show the subject from various angles in the same image. We feel a connection to those who look back at us. Hans is very inventive when it comes to creating the images he wants. He is a technical wizard who can create the picture he imagines in the studio and a lighting wizard who can provide a sense of composition which is powerful and seductive. The subjects are intriguing and the photos are beautiful and complicated. He tests the viewers' imagination. Sometimes he plays with the images, adding subjects, viewing them from different sides, and creating arresting shapes and images. So each photograph is carefully constructed and creates a stunning image when completed. Hans models are alluring and suggestive. They seem to be challenging you to look at them. Hans included this time again, provocative female models to interact with stunning male subjects. Some images are like colorful paintings, almost abstract. The photographs have so much variety one could spend hours with them and not get bored. This seventh volume continues the riveting body of work that Hans Fahrmeyer has created. Perhaps it is his most adventurous. Again, you will be surprised by his imaginative display of presenting art in a bold new way.
