Portraits: Uli Weber

A monograph surveying the past twenty years works of the “celebrities snapper” Uli Weber, one of the most accomplished photographers of his generation.

Some photographers build a global reputation specialising in fashion. Others excel in portraiture in travel or in the tough commercial world of advertising. Most photographers seek to master just one genre. But, over the past 20 years, a rare few have excelled in all those disciplines. One of them is Uli Weber.

From teenagers’ bedroom walls to the halls of The Victoria and Albert Museum, Uli Weber is one of the most accomplished and accessible photographers of his generation. When he started twenty years ago, it was his aim to “create beautiful pictures that are always relevant.” The beauty of them is obvious to even the most untutored eye. This book feature a very fine collection of works that has an unusually wide span.
