August Sander (17 November 1876 – 20 April 1964) was a German portrait and documentary photographer.
This photograph by August Sander is of a German soldier and is from his 'People of the 20th Century" series. The photograph is completely black and white portrait in a military location with the soldier in focus and the background out of focus. Sander's work focuses mostly on portraiture and creating a story behind the image, almost giving us and insight into the character and creating a story for them. We assume that the photograph was taken during the war so it is relevant to the events.
