Detlef Christel studied photography at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig from 1976-1981. Following his education, he worked as a photojournalist for the magazine Freie Welt from 1982-1991, with a strong emphasis on documenting the lives of children in the former GDR as they transitioned into adulthood. His candid portrayals of everyday moments capture the emotional and social situations of his subjects, providing a nuanced perspective on life in East Germany during a period of profound political and social change. – Some light scuff marks and surface irregularities, otherwise in very good condition.
