Introduction by Karen Sinsheimer, essay by Bernhard Schlink
This series comprises dozens of thoughtful portraits of people affected by homelessness, with particular relevance in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. While a student, the photographer encountered a vast number of people who had suddenly lost their jobs and were living in their cars or on the street. He invited them into his studio to be photographed, forming relationships evident in the portraits; the entire series is now held in a museum's permanent collection. The book shows a sensitive and respectful approach to difficult situations of life, featuring impressive personalities who maintained their dignity despite the struggle of living on the edge of society.
