      Eines Abends überraschte er das Kindermädchen dabei, wie es sich mit seiner Polaroid vor dem Badezimmerspiegel fotografierte – für den Fotografen Uwe Ommer der Auslöser, ein Buch mit Selbstporträts von Frauen zu machen, für die Fotografieren Neuland war. Er stattete also die Teilnehmerinnen mit Kameras und technischen Grundkenntnissen aus und bat sie, sich zu fotografieren, wie immer es ihnen gefiel, befreit sozusagen vom voyeuristischen Auge des Fotografen. Manche porträtierten sich mit Hilfe von Spiegeln, andere stellten sich ohne Umwege der Kamera. Manche verzichteten völlig auf Ommers Mitwirkung, für andere sprang er als 'Ghostphotographer' ein und half bei Beleuchtung und Bildeinrichtung. In beiden Fällen konnten die Modelle ihren Einfällen völlig freien Lauf lassen, sich sexy, aufreizend, romantisch oder einfach als sie selbst zeigen. Der Bogen der Selbstporträtistinnen reicht von Studentinnen, Schauspielerinnen, Stylistinnen bis zu Tänzerinnen, Models, Musikerinnen, Lehrerinnen und mehr. Dieses hoch originelle Buch eröffnet seltene Einblicke, wie alltägliche Frauen sich selber sehen – oder gerne sehen würden.

      Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial photographer based in New York and Paris, has made a name for himself with his own uncommissioned works, as this book eloquently attests. For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the bodies of black women represent the epitome of beauty. His photographs are exactly what they show, no more and no less than a homage to female beauty. And of course that homage is paid in the perfect setting, the stunning landscape of Africa.
