Ben Hammer im Gespräch mit Thomas Berlin. Ben ist Fotograf, Buchautor und manches mehr. Mit dem begeisterten Kölner sprach ich über seine Buchtrilogie, warum er am Liebsten mit Menschen arbeitet, den Reiz analoger Fotografie und wie er sein persönliches Paradies finden möchte.

The human representation is my photographic focus. This can affect people in everyday situations as well as portraits and nudes. The portrayal of nudity has delighted humanity for millennia and is also a source of joy for me.
Even if a picture itself does not tell a story, it can be the starting point of a story. I hope you find in my galleries at least one picture that can be the starting point of your own story.
In general I give priority to the physical presence of a signed print over a digital image.
