Seeing, Observing and Thinking

I also looked at the monograph called "Seeing, Observing and Thinking". This book holds a range of Sander's work.



This is the first image in the book. It shows Sander overlooking the German landscape. The image I think is a good opening image due to it showing his admiration for his German community/ landscape.



The book then goes onto his landscape images. They are very dramatic from the low clouds, and dark country fields.


He uses a wide range of his portraits, from the occupation images to the dressed up family portraits like this one.


The book then goes onto his hand studies. These two images show the people grasping each hand showing intimacy. 



There is then images of plants and small insects like snails. He seems to have photographed everything beautiful that he admires in and around Germany.
