Portrait: Honorable Mention 2022 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
"Man & Machine" is a photographic work about older men and their love for even older vehicles. It is about the passion for collecting and repairing, about the hunt for the right spare part or for the next restoration project; about the dream of reviving old machines, about freezing time and breathing life back into great engineering of days long gone - the eternal song. For a generation of tinkerers and screwdrivers, this hobby of the oily kind has become a life's work. This work combines staged portraits of the owners and their vehicles with photographic reportage at parts markets, garages and other locations.
