ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This portrait is created within the framework of the series „100 Wet Plates – 100 Words“.
A distinctive feature of this series is the personal comment of each portrayed person, which holds the spontaneous emotion that arises when they see their own portrait for the first time.
Well worth mentioning is the fact, that with each person only one single wet plate was created. That allowed for intimate moments and formed those unique portraits.

AUTHOR
Born 1980 in Bonn, Germany, grown up in the Rhineland. At first business studies and diploma thesis with honors. After three and a half years as a consultant for sustainability and specialist for corporate culture analysis came the shift. What had been a professional hobby became occupation.

Autodidactically Christian Klant developed what had begun with the first own camera in his childhood. Moved to Berlin and established his first studio.

Emphasis of his international commercial work as well as his artwork lies on the portrait and reportage photography. The latter especially in the realm of sustainability and social business. As a photographer he is known for increasing the visiblity of changemakers and for telling stories with his pictures that are worth being told. He believes that an emotional and authentic visual language holds a certain potency, that deeply touches humans.

2012 the organisation Ashoka honored him with the fellowship „storyteller in residence“. His works were published many times and shown to the public at several exhibitions.
