Wolfgang Sohn does what he loves. And he loves what he does: he is a philanthropist and he looks into people's souls with his camera. Only a few photographers can do that. Above all Annie Leibovitz, Dorothea Lange, Greg Gorman, Robert Frank, Peter Lindbergh should be mentioned in this context. They are or were photographers who had the soul of man in view. And of course Steve McCurry, the photographer of the Afghan girl. This picture belongs to the "Visual Iconic Index" of our time. The works of Wolfgang Sohn are based on this photo. The direct camera gaze of "his people" creates the magical interaction between photographer and photographed: both exchange soul gazes. Both love what they do in this moment. Against the background of a time that is stressful for everyone, they celebrate an emancipation from oppressive contemporary events. These are the metaphysical, the emotional moments of photography. And Wolfgang Sohn has visualized them throughout. This makes his work unique, elevates it to art.
