Who is He?

August Sander (November 17, 1876 – April 20, 1964) was a notable German photographer known for his portraits and documentary style. His first book, Face of Our Time, came out in 1929. Many consider Sander to be the most significant German portrait photographer of the early 1900s. While he also captured landscapes, nature, architecture, and street scenes, his portraits are what he is most famous for, particularly in his series People of the 20th Century. This series was designed to reflect a diverse range of society during the Weimar Republic.

Typologies

What are They?

A photographic typology is all about exploring different “types” through a series of images. Instead of focusing on individual photos, it emphasizes the idea of gathering and categorizing. This approach to photography is really impactful because it can change how we see and understand the world we live in.
