Frank Lübke M e , M ys e l f a n d I
For a number of years now, Frank Lübke has been working on a project where he portrays celebrities next to their alter egos. He has been dealing with the subject of self-acceptance for a long time, and tries to give this unusual work the highest level of honesty possible.

James Meakin o f f- R oa d
A model, a car and a grandiose backdrop – a British photographer explores Cape Town and its surroundings by day and night. He captured his journey of discovery with an SL, producing something between classic reportage and a fashion series.
Cape Town is a city full of contrasts, and James Meakin knows how to take advantage of them. The model walks along a neat sidewalk under a highway bridge

Sabine Weiss PHOTOGRAPHIE HU M ANI S TE
Capturing life in all its facets: Sabine Weiss has long been considered the Grande Dame of humanist photography – yet the 93 yearold photographer’s work continues to be rediscovered around the word.
It was not only in Paris, but also on her many travels that Sabine Weiss found her distinctive subjects: Boy at play, New York City 1955 (top) and Pennsylvania Station, New York City 1962 (right)

The building complex you can see in the background is an oil refinery. As one can see by the smoke, it is still functioning today.“ Ikuo Inoue Leica SL with Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8–4 Asph
