Der österreichische Fotokünstler Leo Kandl sucht für seine Serie “Free Portraits” Modelle via Zeitungsannonce. In sehr unterschiedlichen Städten wie New York, Moskau, London, Teheran, Kiev, aber auch Wien findet er Interessenten.

„Austrian-born photographer Leo Kandl worked for twelve years on this project. He began with a Nikon F camera and later switched to a Rolleiflex. He developed and printed all the images himself. After fruitlessly searching for a publisher for fifteen years, his work was introduced to swiss publisher Stemmle by author and curator Peter Weiermair. Stemmle published the book in 1999.“
