A Brief Introduction to The Portrait of Life

"Waiting for everyone is the same death. Today, no one can be sure whether he can live tomorrow. " This book records the life and death of human beings with pictures and interviews. Without exception, the photographer's record of people is two photos: one records their state when they are alive, and the other records their expressions after death. On these people's faces, you will see satisfaction, peace and hope, as well as despair, abandonment, crying, fear and deep sadness. ...

Reading this book, we can feel the awe of human life and the brilliance of human nature …

In this set of pictures, Walter shows the mental state of human beings when they are on the verge of death in a comparative way. When the edited books were exhibited and sold in Europe, they were snapped up and reprinted one after another, which also caused widespread controversy. However, this group of works won the highest awards for documentary photography, including ADC Gold Award and Jose Silver Award, and Walter was also named German Portrait Photographer of the Year.
