ABOUT

The German photographer Joachim Baldauf (b. in the Allgäu, 1965; lives in Berlin, works internationally) creates pictures of captivating clarity and subtle irony. They are more than just photographs or fashion shots, more than just youth culture or lifestyle.

The book is beautifully designed by Albert Handler. It includes a conversation between Tyler Brûlé, the founder and former editorial director of Wallpaper* and present editor-in-chief of Monocle, and Ariel Childs, the former photo editor at Wallpaper*, an essay by Tillmann Prüfer, an editor at Die Zeit and the style director at Zeit Magazin, and a preface by Uta Grosenick, publisher, Distanz Verlag.
