Photographer Albrecht Tübke

On the list of New Photographers 2006, besides William Lamson, Matthew Monteith, and Pieter Hugo, the full body portraits from Dalliendorf (a village in Germany with a population of 150) by German photographer Albrecht Tübke stood out. His subjects were just seeping with character.
After making my way to Tübke’s website I discovered his Heads series, reminding me of the Different vs. The Same conversation that was happening over on Speak, See, Remember, where Christian proposed that repetitious projects are essentially the same idea and the same shot executed over and over and are, therefore, less interesting than projects that incorporate a variety of subject matter and approach in their work.
While I often find myself agreeing with this, I can’t say this is always true.
