Thomas Hoepker, one of the most important photographers of recent decades, has had a decisive influence on German photojournalism since the 1960s. As a regular photographer for magazines such as Stern and Kristall, as well as a member of the renowned Magnum Photos agency and its president from 2003 to 2007, he developed into a master of “concerned photography”. Hoepker's work is characterized by precise composition and emotional depth, often capturing social issues and the reality of everyday life - always in search of authenticity and truthfulness.

Born in Munich in 1936, Hoepker began taking photographs at the age of 14. After his first successes as a competition photographer, he began his career as a photojournalist in 1959. When he joined Stern in 1964, he not only shaped its visual language, but also presented iconic reportages such as the legendary Muhammad Ali series and impressive shots from the GDR. One outstanding work is his photograph of September 11, 2001, which is considered a symbolic image of the 21st century.

The high-quality photo book “Thomas Hoepker - Stories of Humanity” pays tribute to Hoepker's extraordinary work. The retrospective presents a curated selection of his best works - from early black and white photographs to color masterpieces. These include iconic images from the USA, the GDR and numerous crisis areas around the world. His legendary reportage on Muhammad Ali and the touching photographs from the GDR are particularly impressive testimonies to the times.

Hoepker was honored with the Leica Hall of Fame Award in 2005 and remains an important observer of world history with his timeless images. His works, which range from exceptional situations to everyday scenes, can be found today in international collections and exhibitions. This book showcases his extraordinary life's work and is a must for photography enthusiasts.

Apollo VII–XVII: Revised and Extended Edition — A collection of photographs taken by NASA’s Apollo program astronauts, 1968–1972

Apollo VII–XVII: Revised and Extended Edition is a landmark visual chronicle of one of humanity’s greatest achievements: the exploration of space through NASA’s Apollo missions. This newly expanded edition presents 255 powerful, often never-before-seen images, carefully curated from over 27,000 photographs taken by the astronauts themselves between 1968 and 1972.

Photography has always played a vital role in documenting human history, and few chapters are as visually compelling as the Apollo era. Fortunately, a small, daring group of astronauts, trained not only as explorers but also as photographers, captured these journeys with clarity, courage, and a distinct artistic sensibility. They brought back images that reshaped how we see ourselves: fragile lifeforms on a small, blue planet, adrift in the vast black void of space.

First published in 2018, Apollo VII–XVII was the first book to make use of NASA’s newly available high-resolution scans of the original 70mm film. For this revised edition, the authors have returned to the archive to rework many of the images, add new discoveries, and further refine the visual narrative.

Every frame has been re-evaluated, digitally corrected, and meticulously restored to preserve the authenticity of the source material while enhancing its visual impact. The result is a rich, immediate encounter with the Apollo archive, restoring its full emotional and technical power.

The new edition offers an immersive visual experience that reveals more detail and depth than ever before. Thanks to high-end production values and luxurious heavier paper stock, the print quality allows the images to be reproduced with exceptional sharpness and tonal richness. It presents the Apollo archive with a level of craftsmanship that surpasses previous publications.

You’ll also find newly unearthed panoramic shots, rare astronaut portraits, and a dedicated chapter on the specialized cameras and rigorous photography training developed for space—making it a treasure for both photography enthusiasts and space aficionados.

Adding further insight, two exclusive contributions from Apollo astronauts deepen the narrative. Walter Cunningham’s in-depth essay, written before his passing in 2023, shares his personal story of photographing Earth from orbit aboard Apollo 7—a unique first-hand account of space photography in its earliest form. And new to this edition, Rusty Schweickart reflects on his dual role as astronaut and image-maker aboard Apollo 9, exploring the creative and philosophical dimensions of photographing space.

More than a coffee table book, this volume is a cultural artifact, a photographic record, and a tribute to one of the most transformative efforts in human history. Whether you’re passionate about space, photography, design, or exploration, Apollo VII–XVII offers an unforgettable glimpse into the moment humanity first left Earth, and looked back.

His powerful images of iconic arctic and antarctic wildlife and scenery, coupled with his inspiring photographic storytelling, blends ethereal beauty of the icy landscape with a compelling call to action. The Arctic is in Paul Nicklen’s blood. Born and raised on Baffin Island, Nunavut, he grew up in one of the only non-Inuit families in a tiny Inuit settlement amid the ice fields, floes, and frigid seas of Northern Canada. At an age when most children are playing hide-and-seek, he was learning important lessons on survival; how to read the weather, find shelter in a frozen snowscape, or live off the land as his Inuit neighbours had done for centuries.

Today, Nicklen is a naturalist and wildlife photographer uniquely qualified to portray the impact of climate change on the Polar Regions and their inhabitants, human and animal alike. Whether he is diving off the floe edge in the Canadian Arctic or sitting on a piece of glacial ice in Antarctica to scout for leopard seals, Paul Nicklen goes to great lengths and depths to secure his award-winning images of life in the polar regions.

This National Geographic-featured photographer and conservationist never shies away from extreme and challenging conditions as he feels urgently compelled to connect a global audience to the species and ecosystems he cares so deeply about. One of the world’s most acclaimed nature photographers, Nicklen focuses on marine wildlife and polar environments. For Nicklen, we must act now to save Earth’s delicate ecosystems and the precious diversity of life.

Combining some of his most extraordinary photographs with personal experiences — learning and inspirational — this stunning Paul Nicklen photo compendium is both a remarkable collection of nature photography and a passionate rallying cry to stand up, have a voice, and enact positive change for our planet.

• "This fun book may not be specifically dedicated to photography, but it’s an unusual and enjoyable read – and, obviously, very cool." — Black And White Photography

Cool. Whether it's a cool guy, cool sunglasses, or a cool film - the attribute 'cool', which until the early '90s was still the definitive identifier of rebellious youth culture speech, is now encountered globally and across all social classes in an almost inflationary manner."Coolness" - on the one hand today a fashion word devoid of content, on the other a self-confidently lived, late-modern individual attitude and behavioral strategy with rebellious roots against a twisted and unjust world.

Michael Köckritz gets to the bottom of the word 'coolness' with a holistic view, researches and collages history and stories, talks to interdisciplinary experts about backgrounds and developments, characteristics and criteria, identifies with you the icons and personalities that so strikingly shape our modern image of coolness. The result is an entertainingly stimulating as well as creative journey of discovery approaching the facets of a timelessly fascinating phenomenon of longing.

This reflected, precise look at the concepts of cool and coolness becomes an impressive plea for coolness as a timelessly modern, emotional experience and self-confident "attitude" that lives attractively from a refusal of bourgeois norms and not fitting in, and at the same time fascinates with a distinctly aesthetic dimension.

The tulip is undoubtedly one of the favorite flowers of Europeans. Therefore, it deserves its own title in the outstanding "Floramour" series. This series is aimed at all flower enthusiasts and dedicates a photo book specifically to one variety in a new and refreshing way. In a unique manner, authors Karin Greiner and Simone Braun manage to capture and convey the graceful character and aesthetics of the tulip in "Floramour: Tulips/Tulpen".

In a magnificent homage, the photo book "Floramour: Tulips/Tulpen" pays tribute to this beloved flower. In addition to beautiful photographs, this coffee table book offers its readers an engaging all-around view of this powerful ornamental plant with informative texts and detailed drawings.

Tulips are commonly considered a symbol of prosperity and luxury. In the 17th century, these floral beauties attained a particularly high status in the Netherlands and sparked a veritable tulip mania throughout Europe. At times, the flower bulbs even took on a currency-like character. Tulip breeding became a respectable endeavor, and it is hardly surprising that this led to an impressive diversity of over 4200 tulip varieties.

The informative photo book succinctly discusses the cultural history of the plant. Tulips symbolize beginnings. They are among the heralds of spring in nature and definitively mark the end of winter with their arrival. Even after being cut, they continue to grow and embody vitality like few other flowers.

For all tulip fans and flower lovers, "Floramour: Tulips/Tulpen" is an inspiring portrait and a fitting gift that not only dazzles with stunning images but also boasts a wonderful visual presentation. For those who already own previous "Floramour" titles, adding "Tulips" will stylishly expand their collection.

The Fascination of Early Color Photography

This impressive book was compiled by the two authors Dr. Maria Reitter-Kollmann and Dr. Alfred Weidinger.

In the coffee table book Autochrome, the authors present the most beautiful and important pieces from this collection in their full glory. In addition to the wonderful pictures, the book also provides a lot of background knowledge about the technique of this first commercially usable color photography. Text in English and German.

• "A book of photographs taken before February 2022 reveals formerly breathtaking landscapes that may never be the same." — The New York Times
  
  
• "An illustrated ode to their home, it showcases the beauty and vulnerability of Ukraine beyond the daily horrors and photographs of war." — Image (Ireland)
  
  
• "The book is an illustrated love letter to their homeland, created in the darkest of times…" — Amateur Photography

On 24 February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Since then, Russia's war of aggression has continued with increasing ferocity and destruction. Millions of Ukrainians have fled to neighbouring European countries. Ukraine is now a country caught between two stools: on the one hand, it is striving for rapprochement with NATO and the EU; on the other hand, good relations with Russia have also always been of fundamental importance to the country.

This is a picture book about a landscape and its country, which is going through dark times and is currently moving the whole world. Here we take a look at the beauty and the integrity of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian landscape is characterized by steppes, plateaus, lowlands and mountains. The Lemurian Lake in the south of Ukraine impresses with its pink color, as it has a higher salt content than the Dead Sea. The mountain ranges of the Carpathians in the west of Ukraine captivate with their wonderful wild beauty.

The Ukrainian steppe is part of the great Eurasian steppe, which runs through several countries of Eastern Europe and used to be the home of the Cossacks. The country is also criss-crossed by numerous river courses, with the Dnieper, Donets and Dniester rivers, which flow into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, being among the most significant.

Unparalleled scale, out-of-this-world colors and unique landscape shots from above make this book a tribute to the beauty of the Ukrainian landscape. Text in English, German and Ukrainian.

• “striking imagery…stunning depictions” — Birdwatch
  
  
• "One need not ponder whether Birds: Poetry in the Sky is more a bird book or an art book: it fits each category. But whatever shelf it belongs on is really irrelevant – it’s enough to say that the book is magnificent." — 10,000 Birds
  
  
• "...This is photographic art of birds ‘where they live’ and where humans must watch in awe." — Wildlife Australia

The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as well. “The camera is my brush,” is how he describes his style.

His photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty speak for itself — which is why he forgoes any image editing. He was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of hummingbirds’ wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the air. The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its colorful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops. Text in English and German.

• New plant portrait concept: a tribute to the uniqueness of each flower and a rich treasure trove of knowledge and inspiration 
• The exclusive design of the series makes the books real eye-catchers on the shelf and exciting collector's items on the coffee table 
• Ideal as a gift: for anyone who likes to give flowers but is looking for a less ephemeral alternative 

Finally a flower book that doesn't just focus on ornamental plants, but also makes room for the wildflowers we encounter along the way. In her new photo book "Floramour: Wildflowers", dedicated garden enthusiast Anja Klaffenbach turns her attention to all those wildflowers we come across during walks on grassy strips, meadow sections, parking areas, or hiking trails. Often rather inconspicuous, with small flower cups, these meadow flowers add splashes of color that define spring and summer.

However, the names of these beauties are generally unknown to the observer, but Klaffenbach now puts an end to this. In her familiar affectionate style, this "Floramour" edition deals with each flower theme. The coffee table book aims to be engaging, convey botanical knowledge, and present the plants from all angles, with photos, graphics, and drawings.

Klaffenbach has succeeded brilliantly in this endeavor, resulting in a photo book that is unparalleled. Both from the outside and inside, the book conveys the beauty of our nature. Upon opening it, you are immediately put in a summer mood and can delight in the detailed and atmospheric images.

In stunning images, Klaffenbach showcases the aesthetics of field flowers, which often go unnoticed in the fast pace of everyday life.

This high-quality photo book is a perfect addition to previously published "Floramour" titles and should definitely be included in this collection. For anyone looking for an exceptionally beautiful book as a gift for devoted flower enthusiasts, one that is full of inspiration and emotion, don't hesitate to grab this one.

The most renowned and spectacular golf resorts in the world with expert ratings.

With lots of background information and amusing episodes from the history and world of golf.

The perfect gift for all golf enthusiasts and those who want to become one.

Golf is becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to its superstar Tiger Woods, the sport has lost its reputation as a dusty pastime and has finally been able to call itself an Olympic sport again since 2016. But despite all the professionalization and opening up, the social prestige has remained. Golf clubs still attract celebrities - from Justin Timberlake to Catherine Zeta-Jones - who use every spare minute to improve their handicap.

Although traditional golf clubs such as the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews remain the benchmark, the choice of dream destinations for golf enthusiasts has multiplied with exciting new golf courses and golf resorts. The Coffee-Table-Book "The Ultimate Book - Golf" presents the most exclusive, sophisticated and spectacular golf resorts from around the world. Resorts that not only score points with their sophisticated layouts in charming landscapes - whether against an Alpine mountain backdrop or on tropical sandy beaches - but also with fantastic rooms, outstanding cuisine and comprehensive wellness offers.

There are also exciting stories from on and off the greens and fairways - of stars and cheats, club makers and space travelers, gangsters, boxers and billionaires. Because golf is more than just a sporting pastime, it is a lifestyle to which this book pays detailed homage.

• "In the book… we get a fantastic look at those alternative viewpoints that you're unlikely to find in your Lonely Planet or Rough guide. They've called the books 'Unseen' for a reason, because you're far less likely to have already viewed the kinds of pictures taken within it." — Amateur Photographer

"Berlin Unseen" is, like the first two parts of the Unseen series (London Unseen and New York Unseen), an authentic approach to the character of the German capital.

At the same time, the images by Martin U. Waltz breathe the atmosphere of the metropolis on the Spree as authentically as few others. The star photographer of the German street photography scene has always been close to the pulse of the city; knows where Berlin life meets; in which places and squares the soul of the city is best reflected. Yet it is not the city's tourist highlights that interest Martin U. Waltz. It is the streets and the faces of the "real" Berlin, the hidden architecture, the backyards, party basements and subcultures of the city. His images smell and taste of Berlin, and not (only) of the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag and TV Tower.

"Berlin Unseen" thus becomes a photographic smorgasbord of glances, gestures, situations that capture the soul of Berlin. The city is seen from its edges, and at the same time from its innermost - an unprecedented view of probably the most moving metropolis in the world. Text in English and German.

• "By taking a look at themes which span the globe, such as ancient rituals, rites of passage, business, pain, perfection and sacredness, this is a book which manages to encompass what it is to be human." — Amateur Photographer
• “Astounding” - Aesthetica Magazine
• “A visual extravaganza” - New York Times

Why do we play games? That is the question Belgian photographer Hannelore Vandenbussche decided to explore, traveling to numerous countries to roam the world of sports, passion, athletic competition, transition, and emancipation. The athletes she portrays keep old traditions alive or carve out new territory, perform rituals, and celebrate with boisterous parties centered around their games. Meet Buzkashi players astride their horses in Central Asia, Donga stick fighters in Ethiopia, Tarahumara runners in Mexico, big wave surfers in Nazaré,and many other athletes in these unusual sports.

These unique photographs capture athletes from both indigenous cultures in remote parts of the globe and from familiar, Western cultures. They poignantly convey how old traditions are kept alive and new ones are carved out, how rites of passage, ritual, and celebration are all part of the culture of play. Human Playground showcases a hugely diverse range of sports from places as far-flung as Mongolia and Madagascar, from jockeys in Dubai to land divers in Vanuatu. This extraordinary book of photographs is dedicated to a subject that is being presented in an entirely new way.

The coffee table book by Peter Feierabend and Sascha Numßen from the Ultimate series delves into one of humanity's oldest activities: hunting. "Hunting - The Ultimate Book" sheds light on hunting from all angles for the first time.

Feierabend and Numßen comprehensively explore the various aspects closely related to hunting in an impressive and holistic manner. Richly illustrated and accompanied by informative texts, they introduce the evolution of hunting attire, the different hunting weapons, and wildlife. They also guide readers through the grandest social hunting events that frame hunting as a pastime in high society.

Furthermore, the two authors focus on the animal companions of hunters. Highly sensitive tracking dogs, trained birds of prey, and noble hunting horses are introduced in this in-depth photo book. Of course, hunting techniques, trophies, and the art associated with hunting are also featured in this impressive work.

But, in addition to hunting techniques and methods, the authors also aim to depict the transformation that hunting has undergone in recent years. In times of an increasingly critical society, hunting can no longer be simply justified by tradition alone. Therefore, Feierabend and Numßen have given topics like animal protection and conservation a special place in this high-caliber and informative work, viewing them as an initiative motivation for hunting.

For anyone wanting to learn more about equipment, wildlife, weapons, and the social background of hunting, this book is the perfect coffee table book.

In 60 fascinating photo portraits, the two nature photographers show chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos in close-ups taken in the animals' natural environment. For this, the renowned and multi-award-winning wildlife photographers lived together with the apes in the jungle for a long time and built up an intimate relationship of trust. Only in this way was it possible to capture these intimate portraits of the wild animals.

In addition to the unique nature photography, the high-quality coffee table book also offers a lot of exciting background information on the history of the photographs. The individual photos are framed by interesting accounts of Anup's and Fiona's experiences during their lives with the animals. In wonderful stories, the two tell of the different characters of the animals photographed and thus give the reader hidden insights into the species of the great apes.

But Anup and Fiona do not only want to present the animals themselves. Their work is a tribute to their protection because apes are increasingly threatened worldwide. The disappearance of their habitats caused by humans is causing their populations to dwindle. With this touching book of photographs, the two nature photographers launch an urgent appeal to everyone to better protect our closest relatives in the animal world. They want to weave new threads of communication between humans and animals and their own fascination for these creatures that are uniquely familiar to us. 

The wonderful coffee table book "Face to Face" is unique and serves a special genre of animal photography. It should therefore not be missing in any portfolio of a true lover of nature photography.

Hawai'i is a place of extremes, one of the most biodiverse and pristine regions on earth. But it is also the land of hula and surfing. Over many years, the well-known German photographer Olaf Heine travelled and documented the wonderful world of Hawaii, creating an impressive photographic oeuvre in the process. Sometimes lively and energetic, sometimes melancholic and sensual, but always monochromatic, he succeeds in capturing the intoxicating attitude to life in connection with the decisive forces of this place.

The ocean is omnipresent and the secret architect of Hawaii. Hawaii is about the elemental as well as the spiritual significance of the sea. The lively, constantly changing, restless waves of the Pacific determine the rhythm of the eight islands of Hawaii and their inhabitants. They fuel life here and define the people - whether fishermen, surfers or tourists.

Heine describes the interaction between man and nature and the power and values that arise from it in timelessly beautiful photographs. The cracks of our time and the extent of human activity are shown here with the same force as sensuality, diversity and wild unspoilt nature. In Hawaii, we begin to understand what creation means.

A captivating illustrated book that reveals and brings closer the opulent beauty of the country, the dreamlike culture and the individuality of the people - whether surf legend Laird Hamilton, musician Jack Johnson or writer Kawai Strong Washburn. A coffee-table book for anyone who has always wanted to get an authentic and direct insight into what really makes this corner of the world special.

With forewords by Pulitzer Prize winner William Finnegan and Hawaiian author Kristiana Kahakauwila.

• A fascinating country is presented in an unusual way: melancholy and in black and white, aesthetic beauty of land, people and architecture  

"Curves make up the entire Universe," Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil's star architect, once said. Photographer and director Olaf Heine met the legendary architect shortly before his death. Since 2010, the well-known portrait and fashion photographer has been tracing the soul of Brazil and showing its sensual joie de vivre with a great deal of sensitivity for shapes and textures.

However, Heine is not only interested in the wealth of curves in the architecture and the bodies, but also in a continuation in life: Everything is flexible and in constant flux. From the intensity of longing to the lightness of forms, Olaf Heine shows us a fascinating country in all its diversity, beauty and melancholy.

In his works, Heine depicts the place of longing that the first generation of Brazilian modernists created in architecture, literature and music in the mid-20th century as an aesthetic expression of a social, political and urban society that was undergoing positive change. A wishful thinking and supposed utopia that many people look back on with longing, especially in the current context.

The coffee table book "Brazil" is the epitome of Brazilian "saudade", the longing and wanderlust for the tropical beauty of nature, the lively cities and unique people. For all Brazil fans, this illustrated book is a wonderful gift to immerse themselves in the country and its optimistic way of life again and again, free of clichés.

With texts by Oscar Niemeyer, Ruy Castro, Marcelo Camelo and Matthias Harder.

• "If you're into space exploration, this stunning book is pretty much a must-have. It contains pretty much every legacy Apollo snap in one go, alongside some lesser-known pics that are just as spellbinding." — Amy Glover, BuzzFeed.

July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing — a milestone in the history of humankind. Today, the adventure, courage, and ground-breaking accomplishment behind the NASA Apollo missions remains as compelling as ever.

This thrilling photo book features previously-unpublished photographs from the NASA archives, now meticulously digitized, captured by the Apollo astronauts during their missions. From some 27.000 NASA images, the book’s authors have curated 225 of the most remarkable Apollo mission pictures, creating a uniquely vivid document of one of the most seminal events of the 20th century. Accompanying these extraordinary Apollo photographs are little-known insider facts and fascinating insights into the Apollo missions, including a detailed Foreword from NASA astronaut, Walter Cunningham.

Not only a must-have book for fans of air and space travel, Apollo VII – XVII is a hit for anyone interested in photography, pop culture, and modern history.

Authors Floris Heyne, Joel Meter, Simon Phillipson, and Delano Steenmeijer scoured the vast NASA photo archives to select the most outstanding photos of the Apollo missions. Walter Cunningham is a former Apollo astronaut, serving as Lunar Module pilot on the Apollo 7 mission, the first manned flight of the Apollo program that launched into orbit on the Saturn 1-B rocket.

• "These crisp, colour-soaked images are a labour of love that honours rare breeds such as the European bison and the Celtic longhorn, exploring pastures in Austria, Colombia, Ethiopia and beyond." —Sarah Barrell, National Geographic Traveller.
  
  
• "Lampert is a leading voice in this space, and The Cow is a glorious tribute to cows and humanity’s relationship to them, featuring more than 480 photos of cows from around the world." —Joe McCarthy, Global Citizen. 

"Whole eons of love will be necessary to recompense the animals for their services to us." With this quote from Christian Morgenstern, leading sustainability expert and organic entrepreneur Werner Lampert opens his illustrated book, The Cow: A Tribute, a project very dear to his heart. Lampert developed a passion for cattle from an early age. Again and again, he was drawn to the pastures of his native Austria to admire these dignified, gentle animals and their calming effect. With its rich photography, this evocative book pays tribute to the soulfulness of cattle and the special bond between man and cow, much threatened in our age of industrial-scale farming.

Around the world, Lampert and his team of select photographers have tracked down the most beautiful, rare cattle, capturing them in their natural and often spectacular surroundings with empathy and respect. A touching testimony to a much-loved animal, the gorgeous images in The Cow: A Tribute are rounded out with profound, at times poetic, texts; informative facts and history about different cattle breeds; and entertaining anecdotes.

The long-awaited continuation of the "Vertikal"-series

With his Vertical series, photographer Horst Hamann goes against the standards in architectural photography and convinces. After his great success "Paris Vertical" and "New-York Vertical", the new coffee table book "London Vertical" is now published. In it, Hamann presents well-known sights from a completely new perspective, namely upright, and thus amazes his fans with a completely new view of these buildings and landmarks of the world-famous metropolis on the Thames.
 
The passionate photo artist was born in Mannheim in 1958 and discovered the camera for himself at the age of eleven. Having grown up on two continents, Europe and America, he began an intensive artistic exploration of the extreme format of panorama photography in 1985. But it was not until 1991 that what Hamann's followers adore about him today happened: He turned his camera to portrait format for the first time at the intersection of 41st Street and Avenue of the Americas and has since been called the "inventor" of vertical photography among insiders. His photographs not only testify to his great skill and compositional talent, Hamann manages in a unique way to stage well-known motifs in a completely new way. As a reader, you look at his pictures with curiosity and look forward anew to recognising the sights in each photo.

The coffee-table book "London Vertical" is a delight both for lovers of the British capital and for fans of Hamann's work. Whether Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye or The Shad, Hamann presents all these sights, which have already been photographed thousands of times, in his own creative way and thus creates something completely new. It is fun to pick up this illustrated book again and again, because the unusual approach to the motifs is interesting for the eye and brings new details to the fore.
