Daniel Sannwald: Spektrum

German fashion photographer and film director Daniel Sannwald is renowned for his futuristic pop aesthetic, his uncanny ability to warp reality with all kinds of new technologies and, above all, his magical use of colour: he can take a dull grey and somehow make it glow like a firework. So for his first book, ‘Spektrum’, he and art director Nicolas Santos have gathered together all of his favourite photographs and film stills and arranged them in order of colour; which is more complicated than it sounds, because Daniel uses a lot of colours. He explains, ‘I love to look at colours, especially at colour combinations. I have this Japanese book next to my bed where on each page different colours are combined. I like to look at them, for me it’s like reading a book. I’m not a good writer so I always expressed myself with colours and images since I was very young.’
