Features: The influential American magazine LIFE selected 101 portrait photographs by Hans Lammer as covers between 1942 and 1970, setting a record for the highest number in the magazine's history! Hans Lammer was also ranked by the American photography magazine Popular Photography as one of the world's top ten photographers. "If a portrait photograph does not reveal the inner spiritual world of the subject, it cannot be a true portrait—it is merely a hollow shell." Based on this philosophy, Hans Lammer was most interested in the personality of his subjects. His lifelong dedication to portrait photography can also be seen as a lifelong pursuit of exploring how to convey the essence of a person through photography. (Amazing images!!!)
