sentiment is the most extensive photo book of Olli Boehm's photographic work to date. Against the background of his soulful pictures. Photographs, partly painted over, digitally
edited or captured in between during his breaks in shooting.
It is not technical perfection that drives him, but rather the whole thing.
Similar to the famous Saul Leiter, a picture or a story is good when it touches the heart of the viewer; not technical perfection.
It is the moment, the situation, light, color and motif that inspire Olli to create a picture from the moment.
He presents black and white photographs in their simplicity in their purest form, he contrasts them with overpainted, processed images.
His imagination will do the rest.
What they have in common is an emotional story that every picture has to tell.
"Every picture is like a song and this book is the album.
Some images are analog, some are digital. And to be honest:
it doesn't give a shit either. The decisive factor is whether and how it works."
Olli Boehm
Since 1984, Olli has used the camera and the Mac as tools in addition to the brush. Ever since Olli (since 2008 he has multiple sclerosis) he has thrown all his abilities together, has seen what
is still possible for him and this has become his new picture style. In addition to his books he writes or his directing work.
Olli got to know and learned photography in Paris and Frankfurt/Main. Has worked for years as an art and creative director in advertising and is on the road in Europe in the advertising film directing world.
