Tim Mantoani: Behind Photographs

Mal eine ganz andere Idee hatte Fotograf Tim Mantoani für sein neues Buch. Er fotografierte seine Kollegen, die wiederum ihre liebsten oder bekanntesten Fotos in der Hand halten. Und all das im Riesen Polaroidformat.

Zur offiziellen Homepage geht es hier


Elliot Erwitt: "The picture I am holding was snapped in 1974 just across the street from my apartment in New York's Central Park. It has been 38 years since that event and sadly I have lost track of the participants."


Mary Ellen Mark: "I am holding my photograph of Ram Prakash Singh and his beloved elephant Shyama — taken in 1990. Ram Prakash Singh was the ringmaster of "The Great Golden Circus." The photograph was done in Ahmedabad India. This was part of my Indian Circus Project.
I love India and I love the circus so photographing eighteen circuses all around India was an incredible experience. Unfortunately, Shyama died a few months after this photograph was taken. Supposedly he succumbed to a poisoned chapatti. Ram Prakash Singh was heartbroken. Me also."
