Actually, though, the one behind it is of much greater importance. Because it's the photographer who sets the stage, chooses the lighting, and selects the lens. The photographer's work turns the person in the picture into an icon, or the photos into the witnesses of a personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, hardly anyone makes this kind of art as imaginatively as the Leica-wielding photographer \u003cem\u003eManfred Baumann\u003c\/em\u003e does. Instead of guiding the stars through the same setting over and over, he goes to them. Long before he presses the shutter release, he develops refined concepts for the pictures that will congenially express the individuality of the other person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCaught on film, the faces also always tell a story.
