Over the course of a six-decade career, the German-born photographer Fritz Henle (1909-1993) turned his twin-lens Rolleiflex on a wide variety of subjects, from fishermen in Hawaii to Frida Kahlo in Mexico.
Fritz Henle was - all in all - a descendant of the travel photography of the 1920s. At the same time, this is the keyword, the master key, so to speak, for Henle's photographic activities. Certainly, as a traveler he looked for landscapes, houses, etc., but more than that He was looking for people. If you follow his motivic development since the 1920s, people gradually became the focus of his work. In keeping with his nature, he wasn't interested in the spectacular faces and big names (even though he photographed them but "everyday people with their little secrets of life"
