Thoughts About Mankind by Christer Löfgren (Hardcover, Booxencounters, 2020) BRAND NEW. A collection of photographs of people that reveal our common humanity. In this oversized coffee table book of poignant and expressive images, Stockholm-based photographer Christer Löfgren captures the fundamental humanity of people from around the world. He addresses the credibility of documentary photography, which many believe was lost with the advent of Photoshop. The widespread practice of manipulating photos makes it difficult to judge their authenticity. In these images, the artist asserts that documentary photography has not drowned in the world of Photoshop, and addresses the importance of the ‘uncensored’ image. Photographer Christer Löfgren is based in Stockholm Sweden and has produced 16 books in various fields. His speciality is in travel and street photography.
