August Sander was a German photographer best known for his portrait and documentary work. Sander photographed people from all walks of life, such as a nun, a baker, a gypsy and even Nazis. He is quoted as saying "we can tell from appearance the work someone does or does not do; we can read in his face whether he is happy or troubled."
I really like the portraits of his where the subject is looking at the camera as they feel more personal, like you can get to know the subject through making eye contact.
