Iggy Pop remarked that German photographer Olaf Heine, "is blessed with a clear and inescapable German eye. You better run, or fight back"--and the particularly fierce images that Heine captured of the iconic punk star reveal that Pop did indeed choose to fight back. Heine--due to his ability to get straight to the heart of a person"s humanity and individual style--is one of the most innovative and in-demand portrait photographers working today. His portfolio of musicians, actors, athletes, writers and icons is diverse, and includes Michael Stipe, Jared Leto, Sting and Selma Hayek, to name a few. His photos have been used on record covers and in magazines; he has shot advertising campaigns and several dozen music videos. Containing more than 100 works, this volume provides an overview of the photographer"s extensive oeuvre, while also presenting Heine"s less familiar still lifes, landscapes and architectural photographs.
