Harald Mante is regarded as one of the outstanding contemporary photographers
in Germany. He started out as a travel photographer whose work was published in
numerous magazines and books and later taught photography in the tradition of
the Bauhaus school of design, applying image and color composition concepts to
photography.
This book is meant to present the wealth of Mante's photographic work and at the
same time to advocate a pure, straight approach to photography, untouched by
digital image editing tools -- uncropped and unmodified captures of scenes as
seen through the viewfinder.
Photography Unplugged is meant to sound a voice which is singing to a slightly
different tune than the digital photography choir.
Harald Mante's photographs, all captured on Kodachrome's legendary slide films,
will inspire beginners and expert photographers alike, and will reveal the beauty
and magic of masterfully composed photography.
