Great B&W Photographers Part 2

Lothar Wolleh was a male photographer in the early-mid 20th century. He was born on January 20, 1930 in Berlin, Germany. He would later die in London on September 28, 1979 after returning from taking photos of Henry Moore. Until the late sixties, Wolleh worked as a commercial photographer, he'd capture portraits of international contemporary painters, performance artists and sculptors. In the end, he'd photographed about 109 artists. Lothar used a characteristic format, with mostly symmetrical compositions, in his photos. In his young life, he'd been sent to Siberia for 15 years of forced labor and mining on suspicion of spying. He served 6 years at Vorkuta and was later let out for cooperating well with the people in the camp. Lothar Wolleh left his mark on the world and is still remembered today.
