Title: Peter Martens - Few Loving Voices. [English edition].
Description: Rotterdam, Post Editions, 2012. 29 x 24 cm. 240 pp. Softcover with dustjacket. Illustrated in b/w throughout. - Text in English - Dutch photographer Peter Martens (1937-1992) was a versatile street photographer. His way of working was inspired by the long American tradition of engaged and personal documentary photography, but he went one step further and developed into a radical photographer who took a stand for the disadvantaged and outcast. Tirelessly he captured world's injustice and bad luck millions of people suffer from, fixed in confrontational, grainy images. In his photographs from the seventies and early eighties, Bogotá, Bangkok, Calcutta, Hong Kong and Ouagadougou were the worst places on earth. Closer to home, he showed the blind faith of believers seeking redemption and forgiveness. - Good copy
