There are few parts of the world that Christian Maillard (*1944) has not yet seen.
An introduction by the FAZ journalist and photo specialist Freddy Langer provides a more specific classification of Maillard’s oeuvre..
Whether people, landscapes, or street scenes, his gaze is always direct, personal, engaging, and makes reference to photographer greats such as Henri Cartier-Bresson or Andre Kertesz.
The first monograph by the French photographer includes pictures taken all over the world between 1996 and 2016.
Unadorned and straightforward, his analog black-and-white photographs present reality as he encounters it.
His journeys throughout Europe, the United States, South America, the Far East, and Africa have influenced his photographic gaze: for him, travelling and taking photographs have been inseparably connected since childhood.
