- [excerpt from photographer's gallery's website]
Beginning a career in Germany in 1928 that spanned six decades, Fritz Henle traveled through the Mediterranean, India, China and Japan in the pre-war 1930's documenting those travels with his trusted Rolleiflex before emigrating to the US in 1936. Passionately involved with the relatively new medium of photography, Henle was at once a successful freelance photojournalist, working for Life magazine beginning in 1937; a top fashion photographer in New York during the '40's and early '50's; a portrait photographer sought after by notables at the time; a well traveled documentarist whose work took him to Asia in the pre-war '30's, later to Mexico, Paris, throughout the USA, and to the Caribbean in the late '40's where he traveled the islands before making his home on St Croix in 1958.

The Caribbean: A journey with pictures di Fritz Henle
A book of vintage photos taken in the Caribbean.
This is an essential book if you want to better understand how camera design influences the pictures that it makes, and of course, the Rollieflex twin-lens, roll film design in particular.

Further, it you want to consider magazine illustration carefully, or historically, or more particularlys the work of Fritz Henle, a quintessential illustrator, there is valuable material here.… (altro)

Born in Germany, and trained as a photography at the state school in Munich, Fritz Henle was known in the business as "Mr. Rollie" for his use of the Rollieflex camera with 120 roll films (2 1/4 in sq negatives) at a time when cameras with 4 x 5 inch negatives were standard.
Henle was the consumate magazine photographer, able to make everyone, everyplace, everything, look good. He shows his personal love for the Caribbean here - he could have lived anywhere in the world, but he made the Caribbean his home.… (altro)
