August Sander (1876-1964) was a German portrait photographer whose work has had a profound impact on the field of photography. Born in Herdorf, Germany, Sander is best known for his ambitious project "People of the 20th Century," in which he aimed to create a comprehensive photographic record of German society during his lifetime.
Sander's approach to portraiture was methodical and objective. He sought to capture his subjects in a way that emphasized their individuality while also placing them within specific social and occupational categories. His portraits include farmers, artists, businessmen, and various other members of society, each photographed with meticulous attention to detail and composition.
