Issue 21 – In Conversation with .. 10!

“BIGGER” is a new photo book project and the third book release by portrait photographer Joseph Wolfgang
Ohlert. Many men feel insecure and lack self-confidence because they do not see themselves represented in the
media. However, as we become accustomed to images of diverse bodies, we can all feel more liberated. The book
features around 80 portraits and various personal texts by five writers, spanning approximately 200 pages.
Joseph Wolfgang Ohlert is a freelance artist, portrait photographer, and gallery owner in Berlin. After his high
school graduation, he worked at various theaters in Munich as a director’s and stage designer’s assistant before
finally moving to Berlin, where he began studying photography at the prestigious Ostkreuzschule and successfully
graduated in 2015. He made his debut with the project “Gender as a Spectrum”—a photo book with portraits of
a wide variety of people who do not fit into the known categories of “man and woman” and move beyond
conventional gender norms. In September 2017, he opened his first own creative space—the P7 Gallery. In the same
year, he published his second photo book project “DARLINGS!,” a personal diary of artfully assembled
collages, drawings, and photographic works from his creative phase.
