Portraits (okładka  twarda)

"As a former illustrator and graphic artist I've always seen everything around me within a frame. Interesting faces surround us on a daily basis. Everywhere we look there's someone with a countenance that fascinates or puzzles. I've found studying faces to be a very intimate way of uncovering the hidden side of an individual. When my subject is in front of the camera I encourage them to connect with me in a more unguarded way than they might normally. With celebrities or politicians my goal is always to show the viewer a side that is unknown. Famous faces are not always as familiar to us as we think they are. Everyone has a secret. I try to discover it." Romney Müller-Westernhagen Romney's one-woman show "Beyond Faces" at Camera Work Berlin in 2012 presented her large body of powerful portraits. Steidl is now releasing, in book form, a new selection of these portraits, taken between 2010 and 2013. Individuals featured include: Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Iris Berben, Boris Becker, Wladimir Klitschko, Andrea Sawatzki and Jonathan Meese.
