August Sander (17 November 1876 – 20 April 1964) was a German portrait and documentary photographer. He is described as one of the important German photographers of the early 20th century. He was born in Herdorf,the son of a carpenter in the mining industry.
When looking at his photographs , you see there is a story behind each photo, telling the story of the person in the photo.I have been inspired by Sander's when taking portraiture, to tell a story using a photo of someone by the way they look/ dress and if they are holding anything.
Below is an example of Sander's work.
This is quit interesting to learn about other photographers and who inspires you to be so wonderful on who you are and what you do. Your my Hero and I hope that I am your number one fan.x
