Manfred Baumann: Face to Face Hardcover – October 5, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
Three decades of celebrity portraiture from an acclaimed master of the genre
The celebrity portraits of Austrian photographer Manfred Baumann (born 1968) capture distinct personalities while also framing them as special―larger than life. Through the lens of his Leica, Baumann has photographed countless celebrities of international renown, among them Sandra Bullock, William Shatner, Jack Black, Natalie Portman, Martin Sheen, Lionel Richie, Olivia Newton John, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Juliette Lewis, Angelina Jolie and Evander Holyfield.
Baumann's mostly black-and-white portraits often position the subject outside of the studio and within a scrupulously chosen backdrop―although Baumann calls Vienna and Los Angeles home, he frequently travels to shoot on location. The hardcover survey Face to Face compiles the best of the photographer’s celebrity portraits. Viewed together, they give shape to the storyteller behind the camera and testify to the consistency and richness of his style.

In hindsight I wished I had been more thorough when checking his website out, as I may have not bought the book, but I love the experience of looking through a book for the first time and seeing the great photos.
So before I talk about the pictures, I will talk about the book itself. It is very well made and the paper is of good quality but I am not sure it helps display his work to its best. Many of the images are very dark and there is nothing that lifts the photo off the page and makes it feel special.
As the the photography, it is for the most part good, and there are some really nice images, but very little that makes me go wow. I understand that with many of the images, he may only have had a few minutes with the celebrity and all the images are technically sound, but a great photographer will be able to do something special in that time, but Manfrid's work, rarely gets to that level.
So in conclusion the book is decent with some good photos but I am not sure I would recommend it.
