Fee Schlapper did not photograph according to the supposedly high school of portraiture of her time: instead of going into the studio she went with her clientele to the nearby park, and there she did not set up elaborate equipment but used her Leica, a handy small-format camera. This produced impressive single and group portraits of children and young people, whom she often photographed again after many years. Serious and concentrated, the little and big models look into the camera. The pictures capture personalities rather than staged situations; they show people in their time and are yet entirely timeless. The volume contains her best photographs from five decades, including pictures of Yehudi Menuhin and Ludwig Erhard.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
