is actually printed mk each book has been a different experience let s just talk about this last one i was preparing myself to select and make all the prints to show to gerhard in germany i m thinking i m going to germany within two weeks and then i got a call on sunday at 6am in the morning when the phone rang i thought it must be someone in my family died or something i jumped out of bed and it s gerhardt he works 24 7 and he says mona i m coming to los angeles can you meet me tomorrow i m like monday are you in the right time zone because you re calling from germany he said yes i ve already calculated that he s very direct and i coming from a german background actually appreciate it so i ask where to meet him and he said he d let me know he calls monday around 9 30 in the morning and says i m sorry i m calling so late can you come to the lobby and meet me at 2 pm he does a lot of things but he doesn t put a lot of words to it i came to see him in the lobby he was meeting with a photographer james welling he s part of the ucla group of professors i think he has a book coming out i recognized james and i didn t want to intrude so i waited in a different area of the lobby gerhard saw me there and waved for me to come over and sit down with them while he is finishing up with james i said i didn t want to intrude is it ok with james because each artist is a little different from each other gerhardt said he has no secrets he never has secrets so i sat there discretely looking at my own papers i was a little worried because i had a lot of prints of nudes to show him and we were in the lobby of this hotel i was thinking this is not going to work so well in the past i have always shown him the work in a sequence instead of showing in a box that you flip flip flip i like sequencing it on a long table so you can look at each image and you can see how they communicate with each other i talked to someone at the hotel to see if they had a conference room with a table we could just use for ten minutes they didn t we were sitting in the lobby in a living room kind of ambiance there were two or three couches with a coffee table in the center i said goodbye to james and turned to gerhard because he is usually someone who is squeezing a lot of appointments into a limited amount of time and i asked him how much time do we have together because i can tailor it i was expecting him to say we have twenty minutes and he said well that was my last appointment i have the whole afternoon i was very disconcerted laughing i didn t know what to do i didn t have that much to say i brought another coffee table close to us and started laying down the images i was looking at his expression because you never know he is very reserved very non judgmental when he s looking at work i always get a little nervous it s my fourth book with him but it could happen that he could say you know what i don t actually like this series i think it s good to have a little bit of that insecurity it s normal and it s good to be on your toes he then looked at it and every five to ten images he does a little nod umhum and i was echoing him umhum umhum then he looked at me and said when do you want the book this was in january of this year 2011 i was taking into consideration usually there is a waiting period to work with steidl there s always people waiting and waiting and with my other books i have also been in the waiting period it all depends what s going on in the schedule so i was expecting i d have to wait one or two years before we print it i was a little naughty and i said well if you ask me i d love to have it by the fall and then he looked at me point blank and said we can do it i was not expecting that i was just being a little fresh with him and he took that seriously i asked if he would change anything in the sequence did it lose the momentum at any point because in this series all of the portraits were photographed in the same room with the same chair my concern was do you lose interest at some point and does it sustain a certain momentum is it interesting throughout because it s a very reductive approach to the project he said no no no i think it s fine i think it s good i like the landscapes in between i think they add a lot the portraits are wonderful they are once again different i have to learn you are doing something a little different than before i like it i think it s important and i do see you in the work so it does deserve to be in a book and we can do it in the fall you come in may we ll do the design the layout and the colorization then you come again in june and we ll print it it was crazy because i have done this process with him before and somewhere along the line something delays or his schedule gets messed up and he calls and apologizes because it has to be pushed back six months but his time it s really the fastest ea when you went to steidlville how was it different than your meeting in l a mk i went to germany in may and i brought with me all of my own scans and all of the proofs to go along with the scans the first day he directed me to work with a designer we put together the sequencing on the computer on their software and then he also had someone in the scanning department looking at my scans to make sure they are all good quality compared to what they would do and to do a color proof before we go to press so half of the day i would work with a designer and then the other half i would start looking at color proofs from the scans i supplied and we would make adjustments if necessary the second day would be the second batch of color adjustments and a little more finesse with the designer because now i ve slept over and there are a couple of things i want to revisit in the layout on the third day is when gerhard would say he wants to see what we worked on at 8 o clock in the morning we show all the proofs together with the color expert there and then we also look at the design he says what is this why is the text here he just changes a few things not much but a few things that make a big big difference in terms of color most of the time if i m ok with it he s ok with it and then he translates that information technically in this case we had a black like a bordeaux color curtain and the skin tonalities are mostly very light i printed them lighter than in real person he then carried that technically to say maybe we need to do a fifth plate that is just a black skeleton for the background the more i learn about printing i realize how incredible he is he does those kinds of things just like that very casually the first time i had a book with him photographs steidl 2004 i really didn t realize i knew he was my number one choice that i approached because i researched and i knew the other books he had published i knew it would be an honor to be among those published names i knew he was special but i had no idea that technically gerhard is so incredibly generous so up to the latest of what s possible when we re choosing paper he puts four or five papers for me to choose from and each one is more incredible than the other there s never a second quality it s always high quality in this book all of the portraits have this cloth background he said i think the book should be hardbound and it should be cloth it s more expensive so i would never think of asking for that the beginning and the endpaper he decided to print on the manual press and it s a close up of the curtains it really looks like this very theatrical opening of a story inside once the inside is designed the pages and the layouts then gerhard likes to do the cover once you understand the whole project he leaves it towards the end so we had a few options but it was quite obvious for him and for me that we did not want to have a nude for the cover we wanted maybe just the whole idea of just having the room and the chair let people be surprised once they open the book now days the book industry has it s challenges there s a lot of e books out there most publishers would like to have a nude on the cover just because it sells gerhard was like we don t have to do this i think we shouldn t do it i think the concept is the chair in this room and you can imagine whatever you want and that is what the cover should be he doesn t really compromise i went back in june for the printing the thing with gerhard that is so insane is that i dreamed of a book and that book is 100 of what i was dreaming then when i go to steidlville in germany and i show him what i m thinking about he always adds another 50 that i could not have seen before envisioned or dreamed which is really incredible thank you jean jacques naudet and l oeil de la photographie for the reprint the full
