Johnny Korkman

On the back cover Johnny Korkman tells about his photographs:0?I have always been fond of straight photography. My photographs bear witness to reality as it exists. Most of the pictures chosen for this book were taken on holidays, when my everyday photographic duties had eased up, and there were no more external orders telling me what to shoot and how. It has been a custom for me to carry my Leica camera with me everywhere, and whenever something has caught my eye, I?ve shot it. My photographs are black-and-white, and shot on black-and-white film as well. I wanted to keep the whole process, from shooting and film developing to making prints, in my own hands. Black-and-white film also set its limits on what I was able to do and what needed to be taken note of while shooting.0The photos in this book are all from the 1980s and 1990s. It has always been a pleasure to look at them whenever a box of them has turned up. Now this book will serve as the box, into which the reader can also peek.?
