Book Review:
Anna Bauer Backstage, Anna Bauer
A super-cool insight into the many faces of the international fashion world, this photography book is one to covet. New York-based German photographer Anna Bauer has a fantastically intimate manner with her subjects; I was lucky enough to assist Anna in 2007 (her first year covering the backstage shows) and I can attest that every subject from Agyness Deyn to Karl Lagerfeld was completely in rapture with her laid back charm and romantic technique; Anna shoots on a cumbersome large-format camera, a rare sight in a digital age where every other photographer is plugging into computers seconds after the show to secure an exclusive. Among the chaos that is backstage, Anna’s pitch is a corner of complete calm - you can see it in their eyes - everyone just seems to connect with her considered and careful approach, her respect for their craft mirrored by the manner in which she wishes to capture them.
Anna Bauer Backstage is available to buy from angelikabooks.com
