More about the book

This extensive photo book showcases Olli Boehm's photographic work, featuring soulful images that are sometimes painted over or digitally edited. Boehm prioritizes emotional resonance over technical perfection, believing that a powerful picture or story connects with viewers' hearts. Inspired by moments, situations, light, color, and motifs, he creates compelling images that blend black and white simplicity with processed visuals. Each photograph tells an emotional story, akin to songs in an album. His approach encompasses both analog and digital techniques, emphasizing the effectiveness of the image rather than its medium. Since 1984, Olli has utilized the camera and Mac alongside his brush, especially after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008. This experience has shaped his unique style, allowing him to explore new creative possibilities. Alongside his photography, he engages in writing and directing, having honed his skills in Paris and Frankfurt/Main. With years of experience as an art and creative director in advertising, he continues to navigate the European advertising film directing scene.
