Europese portretfotografie sinds 1990

A magnificent overview of contemporary European photographic portraits

The advent of photography popularised the practice of portraiture. In the 1990s, photographers rediscovered the portrait genre. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, they have been questioning the identity and place of the individual in the digital and globalised world. What do facial expressions, poses, clothing and settings tell us about the person being photographed? This book introduces you to the work of dozens of renowned photographers in Europe, including Tina Barney, Anton Corbijn and Stephan Vanfleteren.

This book accompanied the exhibition Faces Now. European Photographic Portraits since 1990 at Bozar, Brussels.
