Olaf Heine is one of today"s most successful portrait photographers. The list of the musicians, actors, athletes, and writers he photographed is seemingly endless. Despite their fame they appear human, sensitive, vulnerable, and approachable. "I stage many of my photo shoots and let the artists slip into a variety of roles." The photographs tell stories about modern city-dwellers. They are snapshots from films that were never made. Some of the images seem familiar. They adorn numerous album covers, have appeared as photo spreads in magazines and international advertising campaigns, or can be found in Heine"s own music videos. Comprising over one hundred works selected by the artist, this publication presents a survey of his wide-ranging oeuvre and also shows Heine"s rarely published and more personal works, including still lifes, landscapes, and architecture photographs.
