The Geometry of Innocence
Ken Schles (*1960).
1981: studied at the New York School for Social Research; 1982: received a B.F.A. from Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art; the recipient of numerous awards, including the Award for Book Design from the American Institute of Graphic Arts (1990) for Invisible City.
Spectacular, spontaneous, merciless, reportage-style images are the hallmark of photographer Ken Schles. Viewers of his works must be prepared for anything—pictures of cells on death row, police operations, surgery scenes photographed with no attempt to beautify. Despite the blinding speed with which he works, his photos exhibit an impressive aesthetic quality.
The photo selected for our Collector’s Edition is an unusual motif whose power lies in its detail and composition: a U.S. fighter jet taking off from the deck of an aircraft carrier under the watchful eyes of the flight controller, known as the shooter.
Collector's Editions will be shipped upon receipt of payment (including postage and handling) or credit card authorization.

The Geometry of Innocence
Ken Schles (*1960).
1981 Studium an der New York School for Social Research. 1982 B.F.A. Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Verschiedene Auszeichnungen, darunter 1990 American Institute of Graphic Arts Award for Book Design für Invisible City.
Spektakuläre, schnell geschossene, gnadenlose Bilder mit Reportagecharakter sind das Markenzeichen der Fotografien von Ken Schles. Beim Betrachten seiner Arbeiten muss man auf alles gefasst sein. Er zeigt uns Todeszellen, Polizeieinsätze oder OP-Aufnahmen ungeschönt; dabei gelingen ihm trotz des rasanten Arbeitstempos auch ästhetisch beeindruckende Bilder.
Ein ungewöhnliches Motiv dessen besondere Kraft im Detail und in der Komposition liegt, wurde für unsere Edition ausgewählt: Es zeigt einen US-Kampfjet beim Abheben von einem Flugzeugträger, im Mittelgrund der Shooter genannte Fluglotse.
