Children of the World by Mario Marino
Recommended retail price: €60,00
Almost unrivalled on the book market: impressive portraits of children from all over the world.
Direct and in the moment: Mario Marino is an independent, award-winning portrait photographer and one of the great humanists among photographers.
The internationally renowned and multiple award-winning photographer Mario Marino has been travelling the world with his camera for decades and has long been considered an outstanding figure in portrait photography. His previously published illustrated books featuring portrait photography from Africa and India have won several awards.
In "Children of Our Earth", Marino brings together his most beautiful, touching, humorous and exciting photographs of children for the first time. The photos come from various continents, from children of Western civilisations in Europe to primitive peoples in Africa to street children in East Asia. Marino pays photographic tribute to the future of humanity and our planet. For it will not be adults who decide the future.
Mario Marino achieves something incredible with his photographs: children dictate their own rules to the photographer, and it is incredibly difficult to build trust between the subject and the photographer, which is so important for the photograph. Only a few photographers have the gift of getting so close to the children in their portraits. It almost seems as if the children have known the photographer for years, so much do they seem to open up and reveal their essence. Mario Marino's portraits thus become authentic encounters with children around the world, their joy and moments of happiness, but also their desires and fears. Each photo is individual, each photo seems to say the impressive sentence that is often denied to children nowadays: Here I am.
