Faded + Blurred: Clothes Make The Man: Herlinde Koelbl

fadedandblurred:

Often, when we see people in uniform , the clothing is all we see. It’s as if any notion of the individual becomes obscured behind the layers of fabric that we conveniently use to define what they are, rather than who. German photographer Herlinde Koelbl explores this very theme in her new project, titled Kleider Machen Leute (‘Clothes Make The Man’) by making portraits of people both in and out of uniform. Koelbl made portraits of people from a number of diverse professions, including a priest, a clown, a soldier, a chef, and even a chimney sweep, among others. In the end, we’re all just people, not really very different at all.
