Erwin Olaf - I AM - 2007

In honor of Erwin Olaf’s sixtieth birthday, the photographer unveils his very first extensive collection of work. This super-thick coffee-table book brims with as many as 240 photos, showing his earliest black-and-white snapshots alongside his famous free-form creations, up to his latest works.

In this book, the artist’s wild perspective is chronicled and how it has evolved over the past four decades, from a cheeky rebel in Amsterdam’s nightlife to a fashion photographer and master of serene imagery. Olaf has mastered the tricks of the trade and adds a sharp, in-depth commentary on the background of his work.
